Differences between the original Jedit X and 
Mac App Store editions


We have started selling Jedit X Standard and Jedit X Plus on Mac App Store.  The Basic editing functions of those Jedit X are completely same as the original Jedit X which can be  directly downloaded from this site.


But due to the product regulation of Mac App Store,  Mac App Store editions (Jedit X Standard / Jedit X Plus) have several differences from the original Jedit X as listed below.


• Can't add plug-ins separately

Because Mac App Store does not allow apps that download or install additional code or resources to add functionality afterward, you can buy two types of Jedit X at Mac App Store. One is Jedit X Standard which is the simple one and does not contain any plug-ins. Another is Jedit X Plus which is the full set edition and contains a document comparison plug-in "JDiffX" and HTML editing plug-in "JChecker X."


The price of Jedit X Plus which includes JDiff and JChecker is only US$44.99!  (If you buy original Jedit X US$28,  JDiff US$16 and JChecker US$16 separately, it costs US$60 in total.)


• Mac App Store editions have no free trial period of 20 days.

On Mac App Store, the payment occurs at the same time you download a product. You can't try Mac App Store Jedit X with free. If you wish to check and try out it before you pay, download the original Jedit X from this site.


• Mac App Store editions only work on Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later.

Jedit X Rev.1 works on Mac OS X 10.3 or later and Jedit Rev.2 works  on Mac OS X 10.4 or later. But Mac App Store editions  only work on Mac OS X 10.6.6 or later.


• Different licensing system.

As Mac App Store editions have different program names (Bundle ID) and different licensing system to the original Jedit X, it's considered as different products than the original Jedit X.  As there is no volume discount on Mac App Store, we recommend the original Jedit X to download from this site when buying multiple licenses more than 10.


• Different updating method.

Mac App Store editions will be updated automatically from Mac App Store but the original Jedit X will be updated with our original method as same as before. We will continue to update both the original Jedit X and Mac App Store Jedit X  in parallel but it may occur some time lags.


• A little different application icon.

The icon of Jedit X has a green pencil but Jedit X Standard has a yellow one and Jedit X Plus has a green pencil and a ruler.
