[MKSearch-dev] JTidy problem solved

[Phil Shaw]

The problem Bruno found with JTidy was first identified in libgcj 
version 3.2 and affects my version 3.3.3 too. I'll spare the details, 
it is bug 9866.

http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=9866

This was a real head scratcher and took some tracking down, but once 
I found the source of the problem in JTidy it was easier to match the 
bug on Bugzilla.

Since this is a problem with libgcj, not the JTidy code, I have 
amended the JTidy source in MKSearch (a single keyword change!). I 
also updated the MKSearch version of the JAR file, which should run 
without modification on your systems.

While I was figuring this out, I created a number of test scripts at:

	$mk_home/bin/test

And some basic input files at:

    $mk_home/test/html

I would appreciate it if you could run these test scripts on your own 
machines to give the all clear. If you do find problems, please try 
re-creating the JTidy JAR and test again.

	$mk_home/bin/jar-jtidy.sh

Since our version of JTidy is now slightly out of step with the 
master version, I have started a page on the Web site to track it.
