Re: [ jEdit-announce ] jEdit 5.4.0 is out!

Have you got write permissions to /usr/share/jEdit?
the updater plugin does not do any kind of super-user, so YOUR user needs
permissions to the install directory of jEdit for the updater plugin to
work. I suppose that should be documented in the plugin but might not be
yet.
