Starting jEdit

The main component of the jEditLauncher package is a client application entitled jedit.exe. It may be executed either from either Windows Explorer, a shortcut icon or the command line. It uses the jEditLauncher COM component to open files in jEdit that are listed as command line parameters. It supports Windows and UNC file specifications as well as wild cards. If called without parameters, it will launch jEdit. If jEdit is already running, it will simply open a new, empty buffer.

jedit.exe supports five command-line options. Except for the /1 option, if any of these options are invoked correctly, the application will not load files or execute jEdit.
