I looked and no /usr/bin/jar but there is a /usr/bin/java which
lead to gij which seems to work but not. It did this:
[karl@k5di Desktop]$ gij jedit4.3pre12install.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError:
jedit4.3pre12install.jar

It appears that the jedit file may be bad.
Nope...
java -jar jedit42install.jar
Works just fine here...
Geeze
Yes...but for a different reason. :-)
