Hmmm, I actually did that. AT least I did download the release and copy the
files. Does rebuilding the project remove them? The release ran from the same
directory until I rebuilt it.
I can find out I guess.
Thanks.

Hi Keith,
These are references to libraries that are in a BrailleBlaster release but are
not in the repository because they are binary jar files. The error message
about the Display type means that the SWT library id not in the dist/lib
folder. Etc. So if you get an old release and copy the libraries to their
corresponding places in the directory tree from the repository you should be
fine.
Vic and I have been discussing this. The libraries will be made available for
download on the "for developers" page of http://www.brailleblaster.org However,
right now I'm busy with bugs and new features in the liblouis and liblouisutdml
libraries. Maybe I'll get around to fixing the website when the bugs are
stubborn.
John
