This bugged me for a while and I noticed that using Sun's JDK instead of openjdk solved the issue for me, so I'm pasting what I did hoping that it can help someone with the same problem:
1. Uninstall opensdk (will uninstall jEdit) 2. Add partner repo and install sun's JDK:
sudo add-apt-repository "deb http://archive.canonical.com/ lucid partner" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sun-java6-bin sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts
