There is a project called retroweaver-ng which basically has the latest
patches applied to Retroweaver. That's where I'd recommend people go
until it gets re-merged back into Retroweaver's main branch.
As far as "mysterious (ClassCast-?) exceptions" go, I've never ever had
a bug reported against Retroweaver for anything like that. Retroweaver's
been used in all sorts of environments (including with native compilers)
without problem. Retroweaver's been used in production all over the
place - it's even used by Intellij.
I'm not denying that it's possible that Tom found a bug in it (these
things can happen), but he'd have to send a test case to me for me to
even be able to investigate it. Kind of annoying to hear someone be so
disparaging about it.
God bless,
-Toby
