A mature programmer's text editor expandable with tons of plugins.
Program is distributed as ZIP and self-installer java package: download to temporary directory, create a java.exe program object using "-jar jeditx.x.xinstall.jar " for parameters. After installation, set HOME environment variable to some real dir. The configuration will be stored in %HOME%\.jedit dir.
Run javaw -jar jedit.jar from jEdit dir. See below for download link(s).
Following ones are the download links for manual installation:

jEdit v. 5.1.0 (alternative download, 2/2/2015) | Readme/What's new |
This is port of jEdit 5.1.0 to OS/2.
Reasons to create.
Some time ago there was a regular OS/2 jEdit release but because OS/2 JREs
quickly became outdated (IBM JRE was abandoned at 1.4.x and netlabs ported
Java 1.6 GA was appeared only at end of 2011) this release was removed
from jedit.org. Unfortunately after this some developer also removed almost all
isOS2() branches (mostly path and environment variables handling) from the code
so new versions don't run correctly even with Java 1.6.
Prerequisites.
Java 1.6+. I used ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/java/openjdk6_b27_ga5/openjdk6_b27_jre_os2_ga5-20130217.zip
for testing.
Install.
Regular jEdir releases are published in form of Java installer. I agree that
such installer can do funny things like desktop icons creation but this means
more OS/2 specific development and I have no time for this for now. Probably
someone will write the installer in future. For now just unpack the archive
with the program in any place which you want.
Running.
Set HOME environment variable to some real dir. The configuration will be stored
in %HOME%\.jedit dir.
Execute "javaw -jar jedit.jar" in jEdit dir. There is no special jedit.cmd
for OS/2 because it is completely unknown where JRE is installed. You can easily
create jedit.cmd with this one line if you want.
Porting patch.
The differences are minimal. Some of code which is already present but is
activated only at Windows is marked to execute at OS/2 as well. The diff is
supplied in this archive. Someone may try to send the patch to jEdit developers
but I'm not sure that they will accept it because JEdit 5.2 requires Java 1.7
which is not ported to OS/2.
