This is a good idea.  eclipse and javac create
different seriaveruids.  We don't maintain backwards
compatability between different versions, mostly
because it is too much work to track and test.

Is this needed?  Would this only change the behaviour
of GameRunner.getRootFolder()?

Sounds good.  The small flag icon might fit better.

I put a coding standards page on the wiki,

http://triplea.sourceforge.net/mywiki/CodingStandards?action=show

for submitting patches, make sure to get the latest
from svn, and then email the svn patch to me.
