12.3, 3.7.10-1.16-desktop, KDE environment.
I installed JEdit (the Java Editor). The problem is that when I started it for the first time, it appeared it was lacking the welcome file, and now each time I launch it I get “/doc/tips not found”. How can I get the welcome file and the doc/tips directory?
You could download these files from sourceforge: Download jEdit from SourceForge.net
But better file a bugreport, to get the files added to the openSUSE package.
regards,
Hendrik

Well, IMO, jedit should be changed to expect them at /usr/share/doc/,
because that’s the standard place for docs to be in Linux.

Thank you all for your replies.
Should I file a bug? It’s not a big issue I think, but it affects openSuse users.

Sure, Carlos 
I came back after a long other-Linux-distro-break…I’m freshly installed on openSUSE, best distro so far.
Well, since this is an openSUSE packaging bug, you should better report it at http://bugzilla.novell.com/ IMHO.
You can use the same username/password as here in the forums.

opensuse is an RPM-based distro, if I am not mistaken. That means someone
at opensuse made the package and that is out of my control. I think this is
a ticket you must open on opensuse’s tracker, since it seem related to
their particular packaging of jEdit.

Thank you for your help. It’s better that I firstly reported the bug on sourceforge, it’s surely a package issue I filed a bug on bugzilla HERE
I hope that someone really fixes this bug as I like jedit tips and Help.
Well, feel free to branch the package on OBS, fix it yourself and submit the fix back. 
It doesn’t look like anybody cares unfortunately…
Actually the docs have even been removed completely from the package meanwhile.
There’s this comment in the spec file:
# Run the build
# XXX: there's NPE on build-docs, but who care about html docs those times, right?
NPE means Null-Pointer-Exception I suppose, so it seems there are problems building them.
