Problem solved ! There an error in the configuration of SCIM.

Note: the problem showed up with JEdit and with ImageJ.

In the file /etc/scim/global there is a line 
/SupportedUnicodeLocales  = en_US.UTF-8

to which I simply added support for my local keyboard.

/SupportedUnicodeLocales  = en_US.UTF-8,fr_FR.UTF-8

I rebooted and voilà ! JEdit now recognize the euro symbol and my é and
è :)

Of course, for other languages, you should pick your own locale. The value 
returned by the shell command
echo $LANG 
is the one to append to the above scim configuration line.
