JRELoadError when trying to open the jEdit text editor in MAC OS

I am getting JRELoadError when trying to open the jEdit application

But, I am able to open the application using the command from terminal:

java -jar /Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/java/jedit.jar

jEdit website FAQ page suggests to look at the jedit shell script provided by the installation routine to confirm that the script's commands target the correct files and locations. How do I know the location of the shell script file.

I installed the jEdit using homebrew command brew cask install jedit

I did not find a solution so for now I added an alias to jedit.jar and added this alias to the mac OS dock:- Go to /Applications folder. Right click on jEdit.app and select Show Package Contents and go to the path /Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/Java/jedit.jar and right click the jedit.jar -> Make Alias. Now select the alias icon and click Control+Shift+Command+T to add this as a icon on dock. You can customize the icon in the dock to look like jEdit icon if required – firstpostcommenter – 2019-11-15T14:07:17.407
