Hi Chris, I have forwarded this bug report upstream and received a private e-mail from Steven Rubin, apparently the only active developer of Electric. He stated that Electric builds fine with the Oracle JDK. He suggested to change the following line in com/sun/electric/tool/user/ui/JobTree.java from public static class JobTreeNode implements TreeNode to be public static class JobTreeNode extends DefaultMutableTreeNode Unfortunately that didn't fix the issue for me. When I reported my findings to him, he indicated that it would be better to remove Electric from Debian then... Do you think using casts would be a viable option with those "terrible Swing" issues? Regards, Markus
