PATCH UPDATE:

If you download or install Java2Script 1.0.0 M5 after March 21, 2007, you should ignore this patch.

If you download or install Java2Script 1.0.0 M5 before March 21, 2007, you may need to make a patch following the instructions:

Because of a not tested bug that the packed Common.z.js in plugins/net.sf.j2s.lib_1.0.0(.v510/.v520)/j2slib/org/eclipse/swt/widgets/ does not contain TabItem.js, which will result in errors of “$wt.widgets.TabItem is not a constructor” when loading Java2Script SWT application that uses TabFolder widget.

To fix up the problem, please download the patch, and unzip it, replace the old Common.z.js with the new Common.z.js.

If you also download the sources, please replace net.sf.j2s.lib/build/build.xml with the new build.xml.

If you have already installed Java2Script Firefox Add-on, please replace **Path to your Firefox profiles**/extensions/{d60b46a9-bfe3-4b22-8844-07089202e0e6}/chrome/content/
java2script/1.0.0-m5/org/eclipse/swt/widgets/Common.z.js with the new one. In Windows, Common.z.js may be in **System Drive**:\Documents and Settings\**Your Login Name**\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\**Unique String**\extensions\{d60b46a9-bfe3-4b22-8844-07089202e0e6}\chrome\content\
java2script\1.0.0-m5\org\eclipse\swt\widgets\.

I feel very sorry about the inconveniences.
