Charles is correct that the the J GtkIde and gedit both use
gtksourceview and therefore the J lang file that ships with J should
work fine. I remember getting this to work sometime ago but
unfortunately can't remember the details.

In addition the J syntax definition has been submitted to the
gtksourceview developers and should therefore eventually be supported
out-of-the-box by gedit and other editors that use gtksourceview.
