Here's a simple patch to support jgoodies-forms 1.1.0. The patch was made against 2.3b2.
Background: There were some API changes since 1.0.4 (which is bundled with jabref):
1.0.5 changed order of parameters in some methods, the older order was still supported but deprecated
1.1.0 removed the deprecated order, so jabref no longer compiles against it.
So to use the patch, jabref also has to upgrade its bundle of jgoodies-forms to 1.0.5+ . Note that in Gentoo we have always used 1.0.5+ without any reported problems. 1.1.0 will now be tested with jabref 2.3b2.

Thank you! I will look into upgrading Forms for the next version. We've sticked with 1.0.4 because of the API changes, but looking at your patch, it seems the required changes were far less than I expected.
JabRef 2.9 will jgoodies-forms 1.6.0, which makes the patch outdated.
