Did you try the IBM jdk?  I made a package of the IBM 1.5 jdk with
make-jpkg. I'm running unstable though.  In any case, I can confirm
that jedit works with this jdk.

Maybe you can increase the allocated memory?  I don't know the options
for the Blackdown jvm, but you might try something like this:

java -Xms64m -Xmx128m -jar /usr/share/jedit/jedit.jar

Or increase the JAVA_HEAP_SIZE variable in /usr/X11R6/bin/jedit.
