(60/211) 3427 - Application does not remember "maximized" setting

Can you attach your perspective.xml file (in the jedit settings directory)?
I should contain something like <GEOMETRY X="..." Y="..." WIDTH="...HEIGHT="..." EXT_STATE="6" />

Sorry, I just noticed your reply. Yes after PANES, it has:
<GEOMETRY X="0" Y="0" WIDTH="1418" HEIGHT="900" EXT_STATE="6" />

The 'EXT_STATE' shows that jEdit remembers the maximized state (6).
What is your screen resolution? jEdit ignores the EXT_STATE on startup if it thinks that the width and height of the window (1418x900 in your configuration) would put the window partially off-screen.
Thinking of this now, when the windows is maximized, these values probably indicate the properties of the window before it was maximized - so it doesn't make sense to ignore the EXT_STATE in this case. I just want to verify with you that this is the case here.

1440x900 is my screen size. But even when I have it set to 1418x872 (so the height's also less to account for the title bar) it still doesnn't remember to maximize on startup.

Sorry it took so long, I never got an email notification of your reply. Here it is:
