Discussion of Spells and Grimoire items

This is because they compile java with gcc 2.95.3. It does not work with 
gcc 3.x.  If you register with the java site you can search for the bug 
and then vote for it to be fixed.  Sun is aware of the problem, but no 
one is sure when they are going to fix it.  You can download the source 
for the jdk and try to compile it but i did not have any luck with that. 
In the mean time you can use blackdown's version, you won't get 1.4.1, 
but 1.3.1 is pretty good.  The plugins will not work but you'll have 
java support.
