The Physhun project wont compile when you use the latest stable versions of the libraries that it uses. In addition the full Physhun distribution mandates that deprecated Sun compiler APIs are on the classpath (which wont be the case if you targeting Websphere or the default configuration of Weblogic). Attached is a version of the project ported to maven with those issues fixed by removing deprecated classes that use a deprecated vendor specific platform API (if this is not possible then the project should consider declaring stable not beta). Without the simple fixes to these issues (as attached) physhun will be unsuitable for embedding within general applications targeted at anything other than the Sun version of the Java platform unless the codebase is forked for the project in question.
