Jedit using wrong java on MacOS

Hi everyone

If I install jedit from the downloadable mac dmg file (which is prefereable to the universal installer for many reasons) it seems to insist on pocking up the oracle Java that shipped with MacOS, instead of the newer java I’ve installed from MacPorts.

I have disabled the system java, set JAVA_HOME etc. Other Java apps seem to be picking up openjdk15 fine, but not jedit. If I use jedit 5.6.0 then it complains that it won’t work at all, and jedit 5.5.0 complains because I have a plug in that requires java>1.8

Does anyone know how to force jedit to use a specific installation of java?

Thanks


Phil
