Mike, I am experiencing the same thing. I'll look into one day. I don't know why it's suddenly broken again.

for me dragging&dropping etc all works with jEdit 4.3pre16 and older. From pre17 onwards it's broken. It's also broken in different ways in Java 5 (OSX10.4) and 6 (OSX10.6): Once jEdit is open, dragging onto the icon works in 10.6 but not in 10.4. Dragging onto the window works in 10.4 but not in 10.6. It's driving me nuts!

When I execute the command below from Terminal:

/Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/jedit x.txt

jEdit launches and opens the x.txt file.

Drag and drop to the jEdit icon on the dock does not work. Opening jEdit then dropping a file from Finder into the edit window works. Entering open -a jEdit.app file.ext does not work. Before I upgraded to OS X 10.5.7 and the latest Java updated drag and drop to the dock icon worked and open -a file worked.

The posts I found seem to indicate this (SystemFlippers) is no big deal. Just routines for converting big endian info (PPC and most not Intel processors) to little endian (x86 processors).

I dropped a file on the jEdit icon on the dock and the following messages were displayed in the Console app.

Yes, I have issues opening buffers from command-line as well. I have the same plugins you have plus more. When I launch jEdit and drag foo.txt to jEdit it opens it. I've tested this on 2 machines.

I will investigate the command line open-feature when I have some time, but it may be a general jedit issue. Remember that the project viewer might be an issue if it tries to restore your buffers.

Also running jEdit from the command line doesn't open the specified file.

open -a jEdit.app x.txt

jEdit starts and opens Untitled-1 not x.txt.

I've tried a few thing before posting here like removing jars…

Are these the jars you have in you jars folder?

The icon changes to a darker shade and looks like it accepts drag and drop but jEdit does not open the dropped file. jEdit open an untitled document.

I just upgraded my Java as well, but without issues. Are you able to drop the icon onto the jedit (does it gray out and display 'jEdit'?) or does it not support dropp it at all (no visual effect)?
