[jsword-devel] VerifyError

[DM Smith]

Go ahead and file a report.

I went back to Eclipse 3M8 and installed the Cheetah (jdk1.5) plugin and am 
not having any VerifyErrors under 1.4 now. The plugin is kinda flaky in the 
debugger when you step into Sun's java code.

If you want to look at cheetah it is at: 
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/jdt-core-home/r3.0/main.html#release-plan


Interesting to me that support for J2SE 1.5 is not planned to be a part of 
the Eclipse 3 release.

I am making progress with i18n in .../swing/book.
