Hello,

The problem was finally solved with a small change in a SCIM
configuration file.
In the file /etc/scim/global I had to add the french locale identifier
to the list after the us one.

I changed the line
/SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_US.UTF-8
into
/SupportedUnicodeLocales = en_US.UTF-8,fr_FR.UTF-8

The value to add is the one returned by the shell command 'echo $LANG'.
I rebooted and voilà ! JEdit and ImageJ now recognize the € sign and the
é and è I type :)

Thank you very much for taking the time to answer. What you suggest is
probably the way to do the same thing through the GUI environment. I
didn't verify that though.
