Issue with JVM 1.5 has been fixed in the release 1.3.6.1 with some minor fixes for people who use OpenJDK.

Hi, thank you for the feedback. Updated the notice to inform users that JVM 1.6 is required. Since the project still compiles under 1.5 I could recompile it under JVM 1.5 if needed.
However JVM 1.5 should be deprecated soon as 1.6 is out for a while, so that's why I updated the build to 1.6.

For me it doesn't work on JVM 1.5 (Mac). 1.6 is recommended in the blurb - just letting you know...
