Regarding subject: If jedit.exe doesn't find a jRE, it opens a website in a browser that isn't helpful anymore. In my mind it should point to https://adoptium.net/temurin/releases/ from now on.

Running JEDIT from installed Windows icons displays a message saying JRE runtime environment needed which takes you to "https://openjdk.java.net/install/" and that page doesn't even have "11" in it anywhere.

I assume "http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=compatibility#win" is also supposed to tell me something and fails to do that.

Talk about leaving users in the lurch...

If oracle have a JRE 11 I haven't found it.  Googling hasn't helped so far.

"https://jdk.java.net/archive/" appears to be where jedit should direct people (I'm about to try it). Better yet if you creat a page to inform people what they should do.
