Well when I tried to install jEdit, it informed me that I needed to go get
something from either the IBM or the SUN web sites.  At the time I just got
it from IBM.  But I had no other issues with jEdit other than performance,
especially with large files (over 2 MB).  For work, I sometimes have to look
at web logs, and those are about 100 MB long text files, I tried opening one
up with jEdit and it simply locked itself up, whereas in other editors I
could get to page 1 immediately in under a second.  I think jEdit was
actualy trying to read/parse the entire file, when my scrollbar was really
just on page 1, but thats just a programming problem with jEdit I guess
(that it should try to bring the whole 100MB file into memory at once).
