  In this paper, we consider a deformation of Plancherel measure linked to Jack
polynomials. Our main result is the description of the first and second-order
asymptotics of the bulk of a random Young diagram under this distribution,
which extends celebrated results of Vershik-Kerov and Logan-Shepp (for the
first order asymptotics) and Kerov (for the second order asymptotics). This
gives more evidence of the connection with Gaussian $\beta$-ensemble, already
suggested by some work of Matsumoto.
  Our main tool is a polynomiality result for the structure constant of some
quantities that we call Jack characters, recently introduced by Lassalle. We
believe that this result is also interested in itself and we give several other
applications of it.
