I was using jEdit with LilyPond tool also and when it broke I went  
back to using the LilyPond editor for Mac (ancient PPC OS 10.4),  
until that broke with 2.15.27. It now works again with 2.15.30. It is  
not the easiest environment to work in, but it works.

My main Lilyponding however has moved to Windows 7 with Frescobaldi.  
I love it. Frescobaldi is great, and contrary to jEdit & Lilypond  
tool (which I also loved till they broke), is a dedicated Lilypond  
environment.

So, depending on your OS, there are various options beyond jEdit.
