What did I do wrong?

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.

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.

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

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

http://jedit.org.nyud.net:8090/ruby/RubyPlugin.jar
http://jedit.org.nyud.net:8090/ruby/jruby.jar

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

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!
