If you've ever deployed a complex Java app, you know that "write once,
run anywhere" means "write once, test everywhere." It is entirely
possible that there are errors in the jEdit code, but those errors
don't manifest themselves on NT or Solaris due to, for example, the
way NT or Solaris schedules threads, or some similar cause.
Of course, the Linux jdk may also have problems. Or your Linux
environment (shared libes, etc.) could be interacting with the jdk to
produce an error. The only way to determine where the problem lies is
to try various combinations. Do you know other people who are using
jEdit successfully under Linux?
We run some fairly heavy-duty stuff on Blackdown's Linux JDK/JRE and
we haven't run into any show-stoppers.
