I've always used the jEdit launcher to execute jEdit in the past (winXP pro). However, since this is no longer supported, I've had to find other means.

I've tried, from the run menu: java -jar d:\jedit\jedit.jar

But it closes as soon as it starts.

I've tried creating a "shortcut" that runs java -jar d:\jedit\jedit.jar, but I get the "dos" console running in the background, taking up valuable tasbar space.

And, running java -jar d:\jedit\jedit from my "dos prompt" runs it fine, but again, I'm left with the console taking up space.

Is there a way to run jEdit so that I only have the jedit window up, and none of these others? Thanks.
