You can upgrade Jedit Ω to the full functional version, App Store edition with an in-app purchase, and the web edition from the shop on this site.

<The difference between App Store edition and Web edition>
The App Store edition has dark red application icon and the Web edition has black application icon. All functions of both editions are same. However, as the App Store edition works on the Sandbox environment, its security is high but it has some restrictions such as not being able to access an external file by direct path name from AppleScript.
If I dare to say that there is not a big difference in either version, I recommend the AppStore version if you choose it by the ease of update as same as other AppStore applications, and the Web version if you think mainly about the use of macros such as AppleScrip.
