Even after I made logging cross-platform (https://github.com/djspiewak/cccp/pull/11), jEdit still does not want to work.

At the moment I don't have the time to dive into code, so I just tried to find what's going on from the user perspective, and here what I've seen:
1) I opened jEdit, opened a file and clicked CCCP > Link file..., then typed in a random name and... nothing happened: jEdit neither told me that everything is fine, nor crashed or displayed an error,
2) I checked the server console - nothing,
3) I also checked server logs - nothing as well.

Also, having both "Link file..." and "Unlink file" menu items enabled at all times is misleading - this also might be a hint for a user, but it is not.
