Error when trying to open JabRef with ADS plugin

[Katherine Kretke]

After putting the ADS plugin into my JabRef plugin folder I got the following error when I tried to run JabRef-2.4.2

$ java -jar JabRef-2.4.2.jar

ERROR while starting or running JabRef:

Thanks! Looking forwards fetching Bibtex entries directly from ADS!

Hi, Katherine,

Thank you for your bug report.
Looks like my plugin code is not compatible with J2SE 5.0.
If you can use Java SE 6, there will be no problem.
(Update JabRef to 2.5 won't solve your problem)

The root cause of this problem is that the javax.xml.stream package
is introduced from Java SE 6

However I found that there is no Java SE 6 available for i386 OSX from Apple.
I will update the source code in order to work with J2SE 5.0.

Best regards,
