OK. guess that means we won't be able to help :(  We shouldn't leave 
getting your git stuff working before too long, since I'm also keen on 
getting automated builds going for this ASAP. First thing Monday ?

It's supposed to create an absolute URL given a relative URL string and 
fully qualified URL and a (possibly relative) URL. The applet would try 
both docbase and codebase (since it was never specified how relative 
paths were resolved in early versions of the applet) until it got 
something. Sometimes the codebase URL might be pointing to a specific 
resource, rather than a directory, so Jalview would strip off URL to the 
next path separator before prepending to the relative URL.

The 'debug=true' applet parameter causes Jalview to report how it's 
resolving file paths.. that's particularly useful when this stuff is 
failing to work correctly.

Jim.
