Tiger, Tiger

well, another day another dollar/pound/euro.
Todays mini-mission is to try out Java 1.5, nee 5.0, nee Tiger in conjunction with JBuilderX.
The reason? Well, i like the look of generics and for the project i'm working on, it looks like it would be extrenmely useful. Anyway, i downloaded it, installed it and all is fine. Set up another JDK and built projects with it - all good.
Trouble is, if you try and use it as the actual JRE for JBuilder itself, it all goes a bit 'Pete Tong' - i.e. it doesn't work. Googling around provided lots of similar errors, but no suggestions as to how to get it to work, which is a real shame as it seems to be alot faster than 1.4 (aparently Swing is much improved) but I guess i'll have to wait.
