Re: Error in beanshell macro

First of all, after disabling all plugins, you might want to try restarting
jEdit.
It is possible that unloading certain plugins will break jEdit.

If you can determine which plugin is causing the problem, that would be
useful info.

Finally, you might want to try installing Oracle JDK if you still have the
same issue.

The method not found is a very commonly used method that has been in the
jEdit API for ages, so I suspect you either have a broken process (should
be fixed after a jEdit restart) or a JDK with something missing from it.
