Yeah, on Windows, but on Windows for Linux or for Windows?
It's all kind of confusing because you can crosscompile :-)

Yes, of course! I forgot to add some configuration for jar compiling!
Thanks for pointing that out. I'll release a new Version tomorrow. 
You'll only need to update the GUI frontend, the huge compilers stay the 
same...
In the mean time, just unpack the jars and compile from the directory 
with the extracted classes. I usually suggest to compile from classes 
instead of the sources anyway.

Yeah, AWT/Swing doesn't work in 0.9.

Not needed as explained above. I hope it works by compiling from the 
classes...
