+jEdit is an Open Source programmer's text editor written in Java. It is
+released under the GNU General Public License. jEdit was written for Java 1.1
+with Swing 1.1, and also runs under Java 2.
+
+As far as text editors written in Java go, jEdit is one of the best. It has an
+easy to use, intuitive interface, and enough features and flexibility to please
+even the most hard-core programmer. A very incomplete list of jEdit's features
+follows.
+
+o Syntax highlighting for 30+ file types (including C, C++, Java, Perl, etc) 
+o Semi-intelligent auto indent in C, C++ and Java modes 
+o Bracket highlighting and matching 
+o Powerful macro system 
+o Auto-expanding abbreviations for the frequiently used strings
+o Powerful search and replace - supports regular expressions and multiple file
+  search/replace; Search and replace operations can be recorded in macros 
+o Any number of strings and caret positions can be stored for later use in
+  so-called registers 
+o Rectangular selections for working with column-based files
+o Any number of editor windows can be opened, and each view can be split into
+  multiple panes for side-by-side viewing of multiple files 
+o Unlimited undo/redo
