    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 at k5di Desktop]$ gij jedit4.3pre12install.jar
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: 
jedit4.3pre12install.jar
   at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(libgcj.so.8rh)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: jedit4.3pre12install.jar 
not found in gnu.gcj.runtime.SystemClassLoader{urls=[file:./], 
parent=gnu.gcj.runtime.ExtensionClassLoader{urls=[], parent=null}}

   at java.lang.ClassLoader.loadClass(libgcj.so.8rh)
   at gnu.java.lang.MainThread.run(libgcj.so.8rh)
[karl at k5di Desktop]$

It appears that the jedit file may be bad.

Geeze
