What exactly doesn't work?  jEdit, or java, or both?

If you use apt-get to install something that requires java, then apt-get
will install java.  And adjust your path.  Make sure you can still go to
a bash prompt, type "java -version", and get the Sun JVM.  If not,
adjust your path.

I set my java-related environment variables in /etc/profile, as you did.
I don't set a CLASSPATH.  For jEdit and Eclipse, you don't need to, as
they both have shell scripts which do that for you.
