Hello Nina,

Ok I understand this decision.

But I want to add this information to the discussion; The plugin we made 
is a prototype of our application. It will not be usable for the next 2 
months, because the MA isn't finished untill then. I don't know when 
perfsonarUI 0.11 will come, but I don't think a flow S&A MA will be 
ready for production/ public testing when this release will come out. 
When there is a separate build file for the plugin, the build process of 
perfsonarui is not holden up by my code.

I did some research on how to let Netbeans generate java 5 compatible 
code, and this can be done by adding the library swing-layout-1.0.jar. I 
can add this library to perfsonarUI, and remove it when java 6 is the 
way to go.

Modifying the code by hand could take me some time, I prefer to put this 
time in the development of the service.

So the options are:
* Add swing-layout-1.0
* Let the code as it is
* Remove the plugin from SVN tree
* Modify the code to java 5 compatible.

What do you prefer?
