Would've been nice to cite a bug#. Never mind, I have located it:
#136535.

Ugh, deb only? Please provide .diff.gz and .dsc files as well so the
package may be rebuilt from source. It is very difficult to review your
packaging without these.
I hope jedit's runtime and build dependencies are all in Debian main.
You didn't mention it in the ITP, but this is a possible problem with
a package written in Java.

Sounds good.

Sure. As soon as we can actually see them. As I said, the .deb isn't much
to go on. :)

I might be. Depends on how your jedit packaging looks and how much time I
can find to help out.
