[Jsynthlib-devel] can't open preferences window

[Peter G. <pet...@gm...>]

Hi,
For some reason, i can't open the JSynthLib "preferences" window on my
Debian squeeze/sid installation. It happens with the JSL-0.20.0 version and
the JSL-0.21.0-alpha version, though the 0.20.0 version gives me an error
dialog "Unable to load user preferences. Defaults loaded instead." and the
0.21.0-alpha version doesn't do anything.

Also , I can't just copy a line of java code from inside Netbeans into my
mail or wiki that I'm writing with firefox, it makes firefox crash
immediately. I first have to paste the code in a texteditor, then copy it
again, and then paste it in firefox. (This makes me think it's Debian or
Java problem). But because it's also troubles with core.PatchEdit.java, I
thought I'd better post it here too.

peter@avlinux:~$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.5) (6b16-4)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 14.0-b15, mixed mode)

On ubuntustudio, it works:

peter@ubustu:~$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_0"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.4.1) (6b14-1.4.1-0ubuntu11)
OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 14.0-b08, mixed mode)

The debug-preferences-window.txt below is saved from running JSynthLib
inside Netbeans and describes these exceptions thrown:
java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 3
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException

Any ideas of where/what to look for, or hints about some debugging
techniques are most welcome.

Thanks in advance.
Peter
