Generally the object inspector will only be showing the properties for a 
single item at any given time.  For instance, if you select a text node in 
the gametree the object inspector would show the properties for that node ( 
multiline y/n, text, show toolbar y/n, title, etc ).  Map miniatures would be 
able to be viewed/editing en masse, but very little else would.

That null *is* suspicious. :/  that null is System.getProperty( 
"java.user.home" ) and should be your 'home' directory.  In windows that 
would be \windows, in linux it would be /home/<your username>.  Odd that it's 
not working.

Regardless, to get rid of this ... mmm.  Do you have the file 
'logger.properties' in your root source directory ( same place that build.xml 
would be )?  It's a log4j config file, and with that in your root source 
directory ( assuming you run jopenrpg from there ) it shouldn't execute the 
line of code causing you grief.

BTW: it occurs to me that the jOpenRPG-log-properties.xml file really *isn't* 
supposed to be XML.  i must have been on drugs when I put that line in the 
code.  duh.  I'll get that fixed here shortly.

This one is easy. :P  You're using JDom-0.8.jar instead of 0.7.  0.8 has a 
lot of cool new features, one of which being some error checking.  Apparently 
it doesn't like something I'm doing with the gametree.  JDom 0.7 works fine 
still, and I'd recommend rolling back to that.

The new nodehandler code I'm working on uses 0.8, so we'll move to the new 
version at some point I just don't know when yet.
