This version is fully functional and so far I didn't encounter any

I guess that over the course of the next few days, as people start
using this version,
a few issues may come up. I'd be glad to fix these.

I also took Mike's suggestion, Waterfromt's main window is now using
a side-by-side layout.


Hi Itay,

Very nice work on waterfront! I gave it a try on Mac OS X. It worked well and showcases many cool ideas.

I had a couple of issues:

- when building on Mac OS X with Java 6 64-bit or Java 5 32-bit, I got errors like this one:

[javac] Compiling 1 source file to /sq/ext/waterfront/waterfront/ bin [javac] /sq/ext/waterfront/lab/src/net/sourceforge/waterfront/ide/ services/Main.java:92: method does not override a method from its superclass
    [javac]     @Override
    [javac]      ^
    [javac] 1 error

in every case where @Override was present in the waterfront source.

I was able to build successfully by commenting all of them out.

- When using waterfront on Mac OS X, it appears that the control characters intended to trigger menu selections (e.g. ^E) are being intercepted before they reach the menus. In the specific case of ^E, it is being interpreted by the text input field as "move to end of line" which is a common meaning for it in Mac OS X. I suspect there is a way to trigger menu items using the "command-key" on the Mac (while still using the control key on Windows) and people using waterfront on Mac OS X would benefit from a change to using that mechanism.

Thanks very much for waterfront!
