Hello,

Has anyone ever used jEdit? I downloaded/installed it but when started it, I've received the following error message -

Java Virtual Machine Launcher: Could not find the main class. Program will exit.

Any information is appreciated!

Thanks,
Lily

And what is the command line that you are using to launch your JEdit?

JEdit is itself a Java application, and I've seen this error when trying to launch jar applications on a machine that didn't have an updated version of Java. What version of Java are you running?

I just tried to start the editor by double click the icon on the desk top created by the installation.

The java version I have on my machine is j2sdk1.4.2.

Which version of JEdit you are using??

The latest version (JEdit 4.3) needs Java 5 (you need upgrade your Java, download from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp .
