Open files with jEdit from the terminal is a pain. Here's a script to help.
Not sure if it was necessary, but I did the following (as root):
cd /Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/
ln -s /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Resources/MacOS/JavaApplicationStub jedit
I put the following in /opt/local/bin/jedit but anywhere in your path wil work. Make sure it's executable: chmod 755 /opt/local/bin/jedit.
#!/usr/bin/env python
import os,sys
from subprocess import Popen, PIPE, STDOUT
jedit = "/Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/jedit"
jedit_args = "-reuseview"
curr_dir = os.path.realpath( os.curdir )
for i in range( len(sys.argv) ):
arg = sys.argv[i]
if arg[0] == "-": continue # argument to jedit
if arg[0] == "/": continue # absolute path
# assume a relative pathname now
filename = os.path.join( curr_dir, arg )
sys.argv[i] = filename
cmd = [ jedit, jedit_args, ] + sys.argv[1:]
#print cmd
# subprocess.call( cmd ) # run in foreground
# by redirecting stderr, stdout we won't see jedit spam, might be a mistake
pid = Popen( cmd ).pid # run in background
