Re: jEdit on Mac mini w/M1 & Big Sur

Hey Thomas,
I just bought a Mac M1 and ran into the same problem, when I double click on the icon it says that I need java 11.
But when running from the console

java - jar jEdit.jar
jEdit runs without any problem. I’m not a Mac expert and am not sure how to tell the OS which java it should use
