Hi Felix,
You've been hit by a binary incompatibility between jgoodies-forms 1.6
and 1.9. The type of the Borders.DLU2 field changed from
javax.swing.Border to com.jgoodies.forms.factories.Paddings.Padding.
This modification is source compatible (Padding implements
javax.swing.Border) but not binary compatible (the JVM attempts to match
the exact signature), thus requiring the StyleEditorPanel class to be
recompiled.
There is no mechanism is Debian to detect this kind of incompatibility
(that would be an excellent task for a GSoC student!), even the periodic
rebuilds performed by the Reproducible Builds Team wouldn't be able to
detect it. So rebuilding manually is the best thing you can do in this case.
