[moneydance] New Java not compatible with Moneydance???

[Gordon Alley]

It's reassuring (sort of) to know that I'm not alone.

In another thread, most folks report no problems. I'm thinking this might be
a problem with one or more of the MD extensions I've installed.

When I get home this evening, I'm going to try to remove the extensions and
see if that makes a difference. If it does, it should be pretty easy to
determine which one is causing the trouble.

I'll post the results.
