I've had jEdit+lilypondtool working for some time now.

If you go to Apple's developer downloads 
(http://developer.apple.com/java/download/), you'll find the releases 
for Java 2 Standard Edition (depending on what point release of OS X 
10.4 you have, you'll need to choice Release 5 or Release 6). This 
actually appears as version 1.5.0 when you type java -version in a 
terminal window.

BTW, I'm using jEdit 4.3 pre 14.
