Most school networks provide users a personal network folder mounted as a Windows network drive and accessible from any campus workstation. This is primarily meant as a document folder, but executable programs can be stored here too. I have several useful programs in my network folder, but the most useful by far is jEdit. The same copy runs on both Windows and Mac workstations, with the same plugins and configuration options.
To use jEdit in a network environment, just make sure that your jEdit user settings directory is stored on in your network folder by launching jEdit with
“jedit.jar -settings=P:/ath/to/your/folder/.jedit”
via an application shortcut in windows, or a shell script on Mac/Linux (jEdit is an executable jar). Enjoy!
