You appear to have covered all the bases; I tried it on an intel  
iMac- same results as on the PPC machine. Caveat- I am using XDarwin  
(Xorg's X11 implementation) through Fink on both machines. There may  
be a path issue or, as you suggest, some java oddity.

jEdit is running (Apple's) Java 1.5.0_13.

Hard to solve a puzzle when we're not using matching pieces!

Thanks for trying!
