I screwed up here. Version 1.5 is not very old. But for some reason
the java 1.5 on F8 doesn't support installing jedit.
The jre-1.5.0-gcj is what we have built in on F8. It is small in
byte size compared to the downloaded jre-6u3-linux-i586.rpm.
The later rpm seems to put up a local file system in the /usr/java/
directory that is used if you call java from the /bin directory there.
It is just much more capable of supporting java software.
