jEdit fix

.

Via jEdit Community, I’ve found a fix for the jEdit OS X package’s interface problems with the Java 1.4.1 update, but I think you need Apple Devtools installed: Go to the jEdit folder, Show Package Contents for the jEdit application, and change the Java version used to “1.3*” (not 1.3+). This will force jEdit to use the older JVM. Whatever that means, it worked; the icon is displaying properly again, and syntax formatting is back.

    That does work as you say, but it also reverts the BufferTabs extension to the bad behaviour of layering tabs when they don’t all fit, instead of adding a menu of tabs that don’t fit (a la Safari). I don’t know … maybe you like it that way; but it always irritated me in Limewire.
