New jEdit Launcher

I've been working on a new jEdit Launcher, to replace the old version removed during the development of jEdit 4.2. At this point, it's functional enough that I can use it on a regular basis, but is still under active (though sporadic) development and not yet ready for inclusion with jEdit.

If you'd like to see this included with jEdit, please test and provide feedback, both positive and negative, on your experience with it.

See the README.html, which is included in the download for a brief overview.

To do

  • support for more of jEdit's command-line parameters
  • more documentation
  • maybe port "jedit.exe" and "jdiff.exe" to Linux
