This is strange. I wasn't able to reproduce the problem. It should have.

I'm curious whether the Oracle supplied Java has the same problems.

Either way, I'd like BD to work well with openJDK on Ubuntu.

Recently I found out that if we use a more recent version of Java to target an earlier Java that we have to do it carefully to avoid problems. Currently we use Java 6 to build a Java 5 nightly build. We should use Java 5 to build it.

At runtime the version of Java can be more recent. It is best to use the most recent Java.

The BD code has not changed much. Only to accommodate the changes in JSword. That didn't touch the drawing or painting of the screens. I'll get back to you when I have sorted out the build. Right now it is broken.
