What _is_ the root source directory? I need to know that in order to
confirm that it is indeed set correctly.

The original file name is not important. What's important is the path to
the 'org' directory. If that is not in the sourcepath, then JSwat will
not find the maine_jsp.java file.

The second window is a byte code viewer, but without the bytecode since
no one is so enthusiastic as to implement the feature. In that case,
there is no source file, hence the window is appropriately titled.

Have you read the "Classpath, Sourcepath" help page?
