hi there!

i've installed jedit on ubuntu from the package manager, but when i try and run it it doesnt work.

when i type:

matthew@mtw:~$ jedit
Warning: $JAVA_HOME environment variable not set! Consider setting it.
Attempting to locate java...
Found a virtual machine at: /usr/bin/java...

the splash screen appears and the program begins to load but stops at "init system properties"

if i run it as jedit -noplugins, it loads as far as "init look and feel"

if i try jedit -nosettings it gets to init GUI

but none get the program to fully load.

java -version gives me
matthew@mtw:~$ java -version
java version "1.5.0"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.3.2
