Re: Fwd: jEdit 5.5.0 is out!

By the way, if anyone has machines that are stuck at Java 7 (there are a
few Windows XP machines around my place that don't have Java 8 because it's
not officially supported on XP), I have a jedit.jar built from SVN for Java
7 that you can use in place of the jedit.jar that comes with the installer:

Cheers,
Jesse
