Hii ppl.. I am having a problem with genie, there's one missing class inside GeniePlugin.jar, GenieWatchView.class, is this happening with anybody?

I even tried to build the genie source code to generate the jar but it builds exactly the same, without the class.

Can someone send me the class GenieWatchView.class please?

I would really appreciate some help on this..

Grets..
