I had a few moments to spare, so I tried compiling jEdit from CVS
using GCJ (using the javac wrapper controlled by "alternatives
--config javac").

The editor itself built fine and seems to run.  Many, many of the
customizing plugins did _not_ build, the XML plugin being one that
failed -- thus the tag completion and suggestion features are
missing.

I lack the expertise and interest to proceed further.

Cheers
