I'm not sure how you installed jedit, but this is what I did (to make sure we are sort of doing the same thing): 1. Downloaded the java installer for the stable release: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/jedit/jedit42install.jar 2. Installed using "sudo java -jar jedit42install.jar" 3. Create a customer application launcher, with the command "jedit" When "jedit" from the command line it launches correctly. I am not sure what you mean by the panel, is it possible to provide a screenshot? When I run "jedit testing" it launches with a empty, new file named "testing". One thing I could think of that would cause you problems if you do not have java installed. On red hat enterprise linux I needed the java-1.5.0-sun package to be installed. If you can provide more details/screenshot I am sure someone will be able to help. Once you get going, I suggest you install the XInsert, XML, ErrorList, BufferList, SpellCheck, SideKick, and Console plugins (Go to Plugins- > PluginManager, select the install tab, and tick the ones you want. Make sure you are connected to the internet at this point...). To arrange these on your screen: Utilities -> Global Options. Select docking, then use the drop down list to select where you want each plug-in. Alternatively you can access them through the Plugins menu item. Let me know if you need any extra help, also posting the output of "rpm -qa | grep java" would be handy...
