Wow, thanks Michael. That indeed did fix the problem. I knew it had to be something simple. You are right. I am building with Java 6 on Windows and apparently Java 5 (didn't pay attention) here.
On the other hand, I'm now sure that I've never seen this problem before. I am so grateful! Despite my vast stores of patience, fooling around with this was vexing to me, on top of the low-level frustrations of learning a new platform.
