I played around with this, but to no avail.

I had deleted my 1.4.2 JDK about 5 minutes prior to trying JSword
:-/. Rather than reinstalling it, I'd do what I can to help you get
JSword to run under 1.5.

For now, I'll wait for you until you get to it, assuming that you'll
find the problem in much less time than I could, not being familiar
with the code. Otherwise, let me know and I'll try to find the time to
look at it myself.

Thanks,
Justus
