This may or may not work. A better approach, which I found always
works, is to use the full path to the Sun JDK when installing jEdit.
jEdit then takes care to remember that full path when it produces
its executable, so from then on, it will use the Sun JDK whenever
you run the 'jedit' command.

For example, my Sun JDK is located here: /home/sun/dry/apps/jdk1.5.0_05

I install jEdit like so:
/home/sun/dry/apps/jdk1.5.0_05/bin/java -jar jedit42install.jar

I tell the installer to create a 'jedit' executable inside my ~/bin
directory. Here is what it looks like; as you can see, it keeps
track of where the Sun Java is.

 #!/bin/sh
 # Java heap size, in megabytes
 JAVA_HEAP_SIZE=32
 DEFAULT_JAVA_HOME="/home/sun/dry/apps/jdk1.5.0_05/jre"
 if [ "$JAVA_HOME" = "" ]; then
 JAVA_HOME="$DEFAULT_JAVA_HOME"
 fi
 exec "$JAVA_HOME/bin/java" -mx${JAVA_HEAP_SIZE}m ${JEDIT} -jar
"/home/sun/dry/apps/jedit/4.2/jedit.jar" $@

I think code completion is part of the text editor itself, not
provided by any plugin. Maybe you're referring to SideKick plugin
which can automatically provide a popup completion menu?

FYI, I've been using using jEdit 4.2 and 4.3pre1,2,3 with Sun Java
1.5.* for the past year without any problems on my GNU/Linux box.
