JEdit install

JEdit install

[Adam Boettiger]

I'd like to install and use jedit on Fedora Core 2.

I understand that it requires that java be installed first. When 
I yum for either java or jedit, neither package is found.

I went to Sun's site to get java but it was too confusing for a 
newbie. Can anyone explain how to install these packages from the 
command line in Fedora Core 2?

Thx

AB

People have packaged Java for installation with yum, but you'll
have to add their third-party repositories to your yum
configuration file (/etc/yum.conf) to get those packages.

I would recommend that you go to java.com (not java.sun.com),
click the big `Get It Now' link, and enjoy.

1) Download package jedit-4.0.3-1.noarch.rpm
    (google will find it)

2) make yourself a superuser (the simplest way is typing 'su' /without 
aphostrophes/ and enter root password) and type
rpm -Uvh jedit-4.0.3-1.noarch.rpm

That's all! Now you can run it typing 'jedit'
