(242/243) 4046 - EXE does not work with Java 9

The documentation for jEdit states that, "The current version of jEdit requires a Java runtime environment having a release version of 1.8 or greater." Therefore, not working with Java 9 is a bug.

Technically, this is a minor bug. However, in its impact to the users, it could become severe as more and more users adopt Java 9 and look to take advantage of its new features.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Run jedit.exe.
2. An error message is displayed, "This application requires a Java Runtime Environment 1.8.0."
3. The user is redirected to the Java website.

Thank you.
