I am a new user. I installed isabelle on an Ubuntu system which
runs with the proof general interface. I also installed jedit and the
two required plugins, which by itself runs. But when I try to launch
Isabelle with jedit, I get a response saying "bad Java executable"
pointing to a file in the isabelle distribution.
I could not find configuration instructions anywhere. Could someone help?

How did you install Isabelle? If you did it according to
http://isabelle.in.tum.de/download.html jedit is already part of the
bundle. I'm only asking because you said "I also installed jedit ..."
and this should not be necessary.
What you should do, is stick to the instructions at the above link (if
you did not already do so) and try again. No further configuration
should be required in this case.

This is not going to work. Just because Isabelle is build from certain
components like "polyml", "jedit", "java" etc. you cannot expect to be
able to take arbitrary packages of that name from Ubuntu or any other
package repository and hope that it will just work.
Proper system integration of complex applications like Isabelle is a
non-trivial task. I am doing this for several years, and it still takes a
few weeks before each release to make sure that it will work for users out
there.

See http://isabelle.in.tum.de/download.html
For Isabelle/jEdit there is nothing more to do than downloading,
unpacking, running the thing.
On Ubuntu you should be able to do all that in the Gnome file manager, or
similar. I usually try this out, without telling on the website that it
works, because this is what you should expect.
