I followed the instructions, but when I run jedit after installing the plugins, I get an error message about RubyPlugin.jar:

The following plugin cannot be loaded:
C:\Documents and Settings\vjoel\.jedit\jars\RubyPlugin.jar:
Cannot load: java.util.zip.ZipException: error in opening zip file
The most likely reason is that the JAR file is corrupt; try
reinstalling it. See Utilities->Troubleshooting->Activity Log
for a full stack trace.

What did I do wrong?

I downloaded it again with the same result.

The file also fails to open with java when I right click in Explorer and select "open with... java". Same error, essentially.

This is a completely clean install--I've never used jedit before.

Ouch, slow download, 0.3KB/sec! Are there any mirrors?

I decided to download this by 'coralizing' the URLs so these JARs should
become cached in the Coral CDN.

    http://www.coralcdn.org/

So, hopefully if people want to download the necessary JARs it should be
fast after these JARs become fully cached.

These are the 'coralized' URLs for the JEdit RubyPlugin required JARs

I guess nothing (except I did it wrong as well).

The problem seems to be, that the server sends these jar-files with
content-type text/plain, which could cause Firefox (what do you use?) to
not treat it as binary files.

Downloading with InternetExplorer could work (its autodetection of
content-type identified the file as being .zip), but I never tested it.

Used wget to download and it works.

I downloaded it again with the same result.

It is not an issue with jedit but the server configuration. I guess.

Thanks for the feedback on the download problems. I'm taking steps to
have a more stable download setup.

Thanks! I did use firefox. I'm using wget instead, and.... that did it!
