Re: Problem with installation on Windows 10

Hi all, I just got the very latest Win10 on my development system 
(goodbye win7! it was good..) and surprisingly of all the dev software I 
use, jEdit has been the hardest to get going in Win10.

I have *exactly* the problem that jana1972 has.  I have that version of 
java (verified with "java -version"), I'm trying to use jEdit 5.6, and I 
always get the same Java Runtime Environment 11 required message.

I'm fully stuck, I've installed several versions (?) of Java, which I 
know zero about, and no go.

I really hate to give up on jEdit, I've used it now and then for 15 years.

Can anyone help with a step by step for me?
(and may I suggest ... that a step by step be in a FAQ or on the main 
download page, since an install on a clean Win10 should be 
straightforward ...)

Thanks in advance - missing it!
