Ok, I've found the probable reason - in Java 7u21 the API command we use to
launch WinEdt has been changed (Oracle seems to have forgotten the meaning
of backwards compatibility in this case...):
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/7u21-relnotes-1932873.html#jruntime
If I'm right about this, a workaround could be to install an older version
of Java for running JabRef. Alternatively you could do something about the
install directory of WinEdt (for instance, put it under C:\WinEdt). I'll
look at a fix for the next JabRef version.
