I get these error messages. Don't know if they are related to the problem.

I face the same problem.
I tried to use all 4 different JVMs that Java Prefereces enables.
And the 64 bit versions actually seems to work a little better than the default 32 Bit version.
But still jEdit does not launch for me either

I dont know here to see the trace you provide

64-bit?

This seems to be a problem similar to what occurs with Java 6 and in fact, I think it is the same problem; for me, this only occurred on a 64-bit Mac (not on the 32-bit one next to it). It went away when I activated "open in 32-bit mode" (or similar, I used a German Mac OS X); to access this option, you can access the file/bundle properties in the finder (command-i). Does this work for you?

another option
