[Info-vax] VMS editor uncommon option

[Arne Vajhøj]

A not so common option for VMS editor: JEdit 5.5

(that is the version from 2018, latest version is 5.7, but that requires
Java 11 - still waiting for Java 17 on VMS x86-64)

Requirements:
* Java 8 installed (so Itanium and x86-64 only)
* ODS-5 disk
* X working

Install:

$ java -Djava.awt.headless=false -jar jedit5.5.0install.jar

(and just go everything default)

Run:

$ java -Djava.awt.headless=false -jar jedit/5.5.0/jedit.jar

It seems to work fine for editing.

It reads different RFM files and write STMLF files.

I could not get plugin manager to download - not sure if
it is a JEdit VMS problem or just a network setup problem - anyway
one can just download the plugins and copy them
to [.jedit.5^.5^.0.jars] and they seem to work - I don't
want to use JEdit without the BufferTabs and JDiff plugins.

Not everyone like JEdit, but:
* it is a modern editor with the type of UI expected today
* it does run on VMS in a reasonable recent version
* it has the exact same look and feel across platforms
   (VMS, Windows, Linux)

Not that many editors match all of those.
