[Mesquitelist] GSoC coder problems getting started

[Wayne Maddison]

I've never seen an error report like that, and I suspect there is a 
bug in your Java/Ubuntu.

First, what version of Java are you using?

Second, could you send to me off-list the log file (Mesquite_Log in 
Mesquite_Support_Files)?  That's key in any error report.

By the way, this mailing list is directed to users.  There's a 
separate mailing list for Mesquite developers; see 
http://mesquiteproject.org/mesquite/development/development.html
