Please review list/forum descriptions in nabble before posting. nbusers is the list you need to
write to in the future. This may be an issue with readonly files. Are any of your files readonly?
Do you have all the files the edited file may reference and in the same package/src directory
structure? Are there any libraries you have missing? Do you have any error messages in your log
file? See View|IDE Log File.
