So to re-cap my situation now: Using Java 1.4.x under Windows or Linux - dispatcher does not work. (but if you roll back whiteboard/plugins/dispatcher to r886146 then that older version works fine with rest of current trunk) Using Java 1.5.x under Windows or Linux - current dispatcher works fine. Using Java 1.6.x under Windows - current dispatcher works fine. Using Java 1.6.x under Linux - current dispatcher does not work. (with those two utf8 errors mentioned) With all the above - set the build.compiler.vm to match java version. also note I don't have a MAC to test the above scenarios.
