Cannot install jEdit, error in write permissions

[kondor]

Hello,

I have a jar file of jEdit, which I tried to install as -
root - which installs it to /usr/local
normal user - which installs it to the home directory
But when I try to install it using "java -jar", I get the error message -

Could not create directory. Maybe you do not have the write permissions.

Note: I have the write permissions to the directories.

Regards.

Seems a bug in the installer: http://sourceforge.net/p/jedit/bugs/3837/?page=1 but they didn't release a new version with that fix yet :/
I can reproduce this too, this is not a problem of permissions.

Thanks.
