Adding properly named package to the top of each file is a serious change?
Changes that follow sun's recommended naming convention?

Your attitude sucks. 

Open source at it's core is do-it-myself authority.

Instead of working with me (co-developer) you totally dismissed me. That is not
a way to get more people to develop on the editor or interested in crossfire in
general.

I disagree here. It should be spaces, not tabs. Linux kernel, apache code all
say 4 or even 8 spaces. Not tabs.

But I spent time coverting them back to tabs, but you where unwilling take the
time to verify my changs.

Define lengthy? 20 lines of code with documentation is not lenghty.

Did you ever tell me it didn't work?

Did you ever give me the opportunity to fix it?

No to both questions. You just dismissed my changes. You have a major case of
NIH  (not invented here) syndrome.

Your point?

I just added the package name to the code. That has nothing to do with a bug in
the sixlegs code.
