Funny, I didn't even realize that JSwat worked with NetBeans 6.x at  
all. I thought it required NetBeans 5.x. At least, that's the  
impression I got from your message here:

http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=939561.60570.qm%40web38702.mail.mud.yahoo.com&forum_name=jswat-user

So... you're saying that JSwat 4.3 requires NetBeans 5.5, but the  
JSwat in the repo requires 6.1? I'm all confused because the JSwat  
documentation doesn't ever say what NetBeans version is required.

The problem is, I can't use the latest source code; I have to use an  
official release (e.g, 4.3). That's because I'm writing a package  
descriptor for Fink, and it doesn't work with source code  
repositories, only tarballs. Will there soon be an official release of  
JSwat that supports NetBeans 6.1?
