Bugzilla Bug 36922

When I try to emerge jedit I get the following error:
Error: JAVA_HOME is not defined correctly.

Here is a brief summary of what I've tried doing:

jEdit being a Java application relies on Java being configured properly. Gentoo
provides a tool java-config to manage JVMs and configure them. Please see the
manpage for java-config and configure your JVM.

Once you configure your JVM you can emerge jEdit.  I've also added a check in
the ebuild to provide a cleaner looking error message that explains how to
configure your JVM.

Thanks!

the java binary was not in my path.  I edited /etc/profile to include
/opt/blackdown-jre-1.4.1 in the path statement.  Jedit works fine now.  Thanks.
