A plug-in is specific to a program. Therefore even if we wanted to borrow something from jEdit, we couldn't borrow much. Also note that XXE contains a substantial amount of Open Source code. See "Content of the installation directory" http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/_distrib/doc/user/install.html#content_of_install_dir and see also the legal/ sub-directory in XXE_install_dir/bin/. This is not a problem at all when the license allows to do so: LGPL (but not GPL), Apache, Mozilla, BSD, etc.
