Mac OS X 10.9
java -version
java version "1.7.0_17"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_17-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)
jEdit 5.1.0
Installed Plugins:
BufferTabs
Common Controls
FTP
Mac OS X Support
QuickNotepad
How it happened:
I had another version of jEdit (I guess jEdit 4) and Java 6 before and my jEdit was
working fine.
Then I installed Java 7 but when I tried to run the jEdit it brought up an alert saying
it needs Java SE 6 to run!
I did some search in the net, and it seems that jEdit 4.5 (and I guess jEdit 5.1 too!)
should not have any issue with Java 7, so I got rid of the old version, downloaded
jEdit 5.1.0 and installed it. I expected that it should work and don't bring up that
complain alert BUT it didn't work and brought up *To open "jEdit.app," you need a
Java SE 6 runtime.* complain again, it offers to install Java 6 too and if I select
*Not now* (because I need Java 7) it closes the application.
I still could run jEdit using this command, but I can't use Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V shortcuts
for copy and paste!
java -jar /Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/Resources/Java/jedit.jar
the first time that I ran this command, it brought up plugin manager up and said some
of plugins (including Mac OS X Support) needs to be updated, and so I updated them.
I don't think Activity log has any useful information in this case, because program
is closed before it got started.

ok reopening the ticket. 3563983 describes what happens on OSX 10.8 this ticket describes what happens with OSX 10.9. When the Mac installer is replaced with a newer one, both issues will be resolved at the same time. |

Looks like the app starter needs to use this to get the JAVA_HOME value: /usr/libexec/java_home -v 1.7 http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15826202/where-is-java-7-installed-on-mac-os-x |
