Anthill remoting API ClassDefNotFound error

I am trying to automate BUILDS with anthill3 using remoting API but am getting an error when i try to get the Workflows from a project.
It seems the jar commons-graph.jar which is required to run this is not provided in anthill3-devkit.
As per the below link it says to download the JAr from anthill 5 , but i get an error when i try to download any fixes or release of anthill5 .
So if anybody has a resolution or the required JAR it will be very helpfull.

From your question its hard to understand why you are getting the error and why you might need JAR from a newer version of Anthill. From what I know, even sending you the JAR won't do the job because of the different versions. Please try to explain what is exactly you try and maybe we can find another way of doing it without using upper version
Anyway how can I send it to you ? E-mail ?
Thanks,

Optaplanner solving failed "illegal state exception"

I am new to optaPlanner and am trying to better learn how to use it by changing around the dinner party example to solve a different type of problem. I added a new score rule called sameSleepingPreference, which uses a new enum I created called sleepingPreference that is a property of the guest. People who have the same sleeping preference are put next to each other.
rule "sameSleepingPreference"
when
$leftDesignation : SeatDesignation($leftGuest : guest)
$rightDesignation : SeatDesignation(isRightOf($leftDesignation), $rightGuest : guest)
eval($leftGuest.sleepingPreference.equals($rightGuest.sleepingPreference))
then
scoreHolder.addConstraintMatch(kcontext, +1);
end
When I try to run optaPlanner using a data sheet of only four people, the example works fine. However, I made a longer list of 144 people by changing around one of the original data sheets from the dinner party example, and it gives me this error:

Is my example of 144 people just impossible to solve, or is there a different problem? I have tried making the sleeping preference rule add points and subtract points from the score, (I am using simple score) but both cause the program to fail.

This is the recommended way to write that rule, as "eval" is deprecated and drools =='s turn into equal calls:
rule "sameSleepingPreference"
when
$leftDesignation : SeatDesignation($leftGuest : guest)
$rightDesignation : SeatDesignation(isRightOf($leftDesignation), $leftGuest.sleepingPreference == guest.sleepingPreference)
then
scoreHolder.addConstraintMatch(kcontext, +1);
end

This is an Error (!) that is due to running code that was compiled against a class with a field and executing it with another (compiled) version without that field.
Go back and check installed versions, recompile everything, etc. etc-

Applet: visually bugs out only in browser, and throws exception from Swing

We've been struggling here at the office with a seemingly unsolvable bug in one of our (massive) applets, this one being a Java simulation of MS Word, for exam purposes. The exception seems to stem from swing itself, and I'm not sure how I would go about solving it. Here's what happens:
The applet loads with a loading screen till 100%. After this, the components are all displayed in a broken way as if some of their paint methods are not being called correctly, hovering the cursor over some buttons etc. does make them flash/display for a while. And an exception is printed to the console every second or so. (See below) This bug does NOT occur within Eclipse, only in the browser.
Summary: Applet components all get built without exceptions, but on every "paint" call of a some component (I assume), it visually bugs out and the following is printed every second:

Help would be greatly appreciated, as this is driving me nuts, I can't seem to find what triggers this, as the code is from a previous developer, and an utter mess. I have tried different JDK versions.
Thanx.

java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.swing.JLabel cannot be cast to
javax.swing.text.JTextComponent
see components tree for JTextComponents, there isn't JLabel, JLabel isn't member of JTextComponents
safest could be to test if (Xxx instanceof JTextComponent) before any casting

Found a fix to my problem. The target Java version was wrong. In the build.xml file, there were the following lines:
<property name="target" value="1.5" />
<property name="source" value="1.5" />
Changed those to 1.7, and voila! This seems to have been a Swing bug that has been fixed in the newer versions of Java.

I've noticed that this problem can occur when a JLabel with tags around the content contains nested tags. The solution is to escape the angle brackets on the

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Rectangle width and height must be > 0

I have a peculiar situation here in an application I've programmed using a Substance LookAndFeel. In my application, as seen in the screenshot below, I have three JMenus in the MenuBar.
The one all the way on the right (Take Screenshot) is click-able and takes a screenshot of the entire application window. It has no MenuItems beneath it and works as a standalone faux "button".
Upon being clicked, it works perfectly fine. But in the console I get a HUGE block of errors related to what I'm assuming is the current L&F I'm using (seeing as this didn't happen with the System Default L&F).
Another question I would like to have answered is how to fix the opaque part of the menu's shadow, also as seen in the screenshot provided. None of this affects execution of the application in any way, I would just like them both resolved to ensure execution is optimal.
If any of my code needs to be posted to help resolve the issue, please recommend where you think thr issue is originating from (i.e. the Robot, or the L&F, or the MenuBar, or whatever). I will post whatever is needed.
edit: I have done some more exploration and it seems to occur only when any of the Menus are selected, then I hover over to the Screenshot menu. My guess is simply because it has no MenuItems to be displayed, but I could be wrong. I still haven't a clue on how to resolve the issue, though.

This is a bug in Substance that is based on older code in JGoodies. Kirill took an older snapshot of ShadowPopup that didn't have code to check for things like zero width or height. Current versions of ShadowPopup look for that error and handle it properly.
Substance itself is no longer maintained by Kirill, but I do have a maintenence fork. Could you post this as an issue there?
