Errors while compiling the sources on Ubuntu

Hi there,

I tried to compile VUE 3.1.2 and the latest 3.1.3alpha72 from sources on Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit using OpenJDK 1.7 (javac 1.7.0_07) and ant 1.8.2. Unfortunately, there are several errors, so that the build cannot complete. The build logs are attached below. Grepping the 3.1.2 log for 'error', it gives

$ grep error 3.1.2_build.log 
    [javac] /data/vue/vue/src/tufts/vue/LWComponent.java:1768: error: x has private access in LWComponent
    [javac] /data/vue/vue/src/tufts/vue/LWComponent.java:1769: error: y has private access in LWComponent
    [javac] /data/vue/vue/src/tufts/vue/LWComponent.java:1772: error: scale has private access in LWComponent

    [javac] /data/vue/vue/src/tufts/vue/LWComponent.java:1785: error: setLabelImpl(String,boolean,boolean) has private access in LWComponent
    [javac] /data/vue/vue/src/tufts/vue/filter/NodeFilterEditor.java:555: error: no suitable constructor found for Key(String,java.awt.Window.Type)
    [javac] /data/vue/vue/src/tufts/vue/filter/NodeFilterEditor.java:561: error: cannot find symbol
    [javac] /data/vue/vue/src/tufts/vue/filter/MapFilterModelEditor.java:214: error: no suitable constructor found for Key(String,java.awt.Window.Type)
    [javac] /data/vue/vue/src/tufts/vue/filter/MapFilterModelEditor.java:216: error: cannot find symbol
    [javac] 9 errors

While the problems in MapFilterModelEditor.java seem to be resolved in 3.1.3alpha72, LWComponent.java still gives errors:

There are also a lot of warnings. I compiled both versions with 'ant all' from within the 'src' directory. The precompiled jar for 3.1.2 works, though. As I am interested in porting this program to openbsd, it would be nice to have sources that are compilable. Just ask if you have more questions on my setup, etc.

Thanks for this great program and your help!

Nils
