OS 10.5 - running jedit from command line

I have jEdit.app in /Applications folder.

I created a symbolic link in /usr/bin like this:
ln -s /Applications/jEdit.app/Contents/MacOS/jEdit /usr/bin/jedit

When i typed jedit on command line after this i get the following error:

[JavaAppLauncher Error] CFBundleCopyResourceURL() failed loading MRJApp.properties file
[JavaAppLauncher Error] CFBundleCopyResourceURL() failed while getting Resource/Java directory
[LaunchRunner Error] No main class specified
[JavaAppLauncher Error] CallStaticVoidMethod() threw an exception
