jEdit 5.4.0 has been released (and was released on 18 March 2017, so this is not a 0th day update request), but only an ebuild for app-editors/jedit-5.2.0-r1 is in the Portage Tree at the moment, I am writing this to request a version bump.
Please note that jEdit 5.4.0 depends on Java 1.8 now.
Created attachment 490522 [details] jedit-5.4.0.ebuild
Created attachment 490524 [details, diff] jedit-5.4.0-build-xml.patch Subject: [PATCH] Do not have target "build" call target "test" With "test" target build error appears due to "package org.junit does not exist", so patch skips target "test" as it was make for jedit-5.2.0 early. Note that pathces for jedit-5.2.0 and 5.4.0 differs from each other.
Please, review attached .ebuild and .patch files to adding package update to main Gentoo portage tree.
5.4.0 is now in the tree.
