Bug Description

Binary package hint: jedit

Ubuntu 10.10
jEdit 4.3.2+dfsg-3

jEdit 4.3 recommends Sun's JDK 1.5.0 or later and hasn't been tested on other JVM's (see http://www.jedit.org/index.php?page=compatibility ). But the jedit.sh shell script uses open jdk even if sun java is installed and made the default jvm.

This is because it uses java-wrappers and picks the jvm via "find_java_runtime java6". Also, it wouldn't try to start jEdit if only java 5 were found, would it?

Maybe the relevant line should be changed to something like:

find_java_runtime sun6 sun5 java6 java5
