    Very good! I do not know what IcedTea-1.5 (b24) has changed to make 
it now work. In fact I do not know what function it has with the version 
1.5 java that F8 has now. The error messages I got with this java were 
related to not enough space for jedit files and other problems. It took 
several minutes before it finished installing and the result was broken.

    After the installation of the Sun version 1.6 it took just a few 
seconds for the installation of jedit and the result works fine.
