Re: CentOS 7 update leads to jEdit hanging on startup.

A helpful way to debug this is often running  the app from a terminal.
in my case, open a terminal, then cd c:/apps/jEdit56/.    your location
will be different.
then java -jar jedit.jar

also 'java -version' just to see which java is really running.

you may need to install an older java, as Oracle is rapidly trying to sink
all the old code, so they can get you to pay licensing fees.
was java listed as being updated?
