I'm having the same problem - running a fairly old Toshiba laptop with XP. I'm definitely running the latest version of Java, just checked and updated. Also, I run it 'windowed', in case that makes a difference. I only just switched to this version - I was using 0.9.5, I think. I haven't got Apache Ant, either. Thanks.

It is a home-brewed format, since we were unable to find a suitable standardized animation format at the time. The sza file is simply a zip file containing a number of png images and a file named "animation.txt" that specifies the order and duration of the images to display.

OK, so we have a bug that happens with 0.10.0 on XP but has not been seen since. Most likely either FreeCol's error handling has improved or Microsoft fixed their Java. I will leave this report open for now, but if no further sightings show up in a few months it will be time to close.

Well, now I have Win 7, and I didn't noticed any problems. On my Debian it also works fine.

Still happens in 0.10.5, with JRE 7u4. It doesn't happen in my Puppy Linux install, in Linux the context menu appears to the right of the unit. In Windows, right-click on a unit anywhere in the colony window, the context menu appears in the upper left corner of the window. This produces the condition where a unit working on the land can be covered by the context menu. I was able to force...

If the ships even had just numbers it would make it easier to keep track of them. Could be used along with naming - after you run out of names, they'd just get numbers.

If you can come up with enough ship names that each nation has multiple ships in each list, then fair enough. However I am less worried by the naming incongruities, and I suspect our users will be just happy to have ship names at all. We already do enough strange stuff (often founding Jamestown within reach of the south pole or Quebec in the tropics, and meeting Aztecs in Africa for that...

Oh, for a fee, though, the aging ships could be refitted; rebuilt to newer models like the British navies were; or sold to poorer powers.
