Dear Oliver, This is to confirm that you were right on all counts. After syncing again with upstream (and removing src/main/gen) I was able to compile both the master and the dev_2.11 branches successfully.
However I had 16 failing unit tests (on dev_2.11), but surely you are aware of these via Travis. And I still have the same issue with AppEvent on Mac when trying to run JabRefMain from Eclipse. (I can live with that for the moment, but if I can be of any help to investigate this, please tell me.) The good news is that I could run the generated distribution (after untarring it and running the shell script), even though JabRef complains about a missing MacAdapter: Exception (class java.lang.ClassNotFoundException): osx.macadapter.MacAdapter Probably this is specifically added to the Mac-only version, which is not in the generic distribution? I could also still reproduce the bug I mentioned in my original mail. Apparently it also exists in 2.10: see https://sourceforge.net/p/jabref/bugs/1243/ (with several duplicates). This happens on MacOSX generally and also on Windows under certain circumstances. I will probably come back to you off-list about this very soon.
