Update: I moved the source for "B" to the old laptop, changed all the "1.8" to "1.6" in the ant build.xml file, and built it.

It works perfectly on the old laptop.

Recall that the very similar "A" built on the old laptop FAILS on the new laptop.

When "B" is built on the new laptop (different compiler, different level) it fails on both laptops.

When "B" is built on the old laptop, it works on the old laptop (and presumably, but I didn't test)  will fail on the new laptop.

Again - these are all 100% (small sample) observations on my new laptop - there are intermittent failures on different laptops (unknown Java environment).

It smells like a 1.8 vs 1.6 problem - but I'm ignorant of the differences.  

Any clues?  As before - I'm happy to send source code to anyone for independent testing.

For now, I *might* be able to get away with developing on the old environment and hoping that no clients will have problematic run time environments, but that feels like sticking my head in the sand.

Otherwise - tomorrow I will write the smallest possible plugin that uses KeyListener and see if that fails in the new environment.  But, the current source code is pretty small and quite straightforward.
