+This provides both a basic editing "mode" (with some degree of syntax
+highlighting), and a proper "plugin" with some support for interaction
+with the Isabelle process.

+Mode installation
+-----------------
1) Copy or symlink [ISABELLE_HOME]/lib/jedit/isabelle.xml to
[JEDIT_SETTINGS]/modes/

+Plugin installation
+-------------------
+
+1) Copy or symlink [ISABELLE_HOME]/lib/jedit/isabelle/isabelle.jar to
+[JEDIT_SETTINGS]/jars/
+
+2) Install scala-library.jar likewise (taken from the regular Scala
+distribution, cf. the http://www.scala-lang.org/downloads/index.html)
+
+3) Enable the plugin using the manager of jEdit; invoke the "isabelle"
+editor action. The resulting window may be docked, e.g. at bottom.
+
+Note that the Errorlist plugin provides some useful options like "Show
+error icons in the gutter", for immediate feedback of Isabelle
+warnings and errors in the source text. The Errorlist window may be
+docked likewise.
