A patch release of JMatter is out today, which fixes these minor issues discovered after last week's release:

a rendering issue with the login panel
issue with persisting BigDecimalEO's
a bug in minimizing a maximized internal frame (reported by alexcrown (thx))
a classloader issue that manifested itself with a webstart-deployed app

Thanks, / Eitan

hi keith, i'd be happy to help you get mytunes up and running. come subscribe to the mailing list and post your exception/stack-trace and i'll try to help you from there. did you export the schema before running the app? i don't expect you to debug through ant. i suggest you setup jmatter through an ide. i use intellij idea. but you can use eclipse or something else. i encourage you to take a little time and read through the relevant sections in the manual. as far as i know, the instructions for running mytunes in the manual are correct/work. the ant build files are a necessity for build automation.

JMatter is a good concept and I like the user interfaces that it creates. I downloaded and tried it today.

Unfortunately, under the hood JMatter seems really bloated, complex and difficult to debug.

I was walking through your tutorial on creating an ITunes player and I couldn't even get the simplest screen up. I got at org.hibernate.MappingException when I did an Ant run.

Two things stand out: 1) I guess I have to learn hibernate before I can debug jmatter applications (and judging by the list of jars you ship with I'll have to learn about 20 other new technologies), and 2) how can I debug when I'm running my application through Ant?
