Yes, it has a quite impressive list of highlighters, also syntax 
checking for php and html via plugins 
(http://jedit.org/index.php?page=features). I must note however, that 
jedit's highlighter configuration is regular-expression based, so it 
doesn't have such power that vim or emacs, where you can write code to 
highlight. (Actually you could write a plugin that colors according to 
more complex rules, as I do in LilyPondTool to make different background 
color for Scheme parts.)

I understand how hard it is to use more than one editors, not to mention 
setting up compiler commands. I am biased because jEdit was my first 
power editor, and I gradually got engaged by its power when creating 
LilyPondTool.
