      So, what I did is mainly changing the directory structure.

      Besides, if any of the resource files is not available,

      the editor loads it from the jar archive if possible.

      That also means the jar can now run completely stand-alone,

      The downside of such a change is that all existing build

      On the other hand, most of them were already outdated.

  Looking over it, I don't see any real problems with all of that.

  Presumably, it would be a good time to update the build scripts since the old 
ones won't work anymore.

any reason HelpFiles is capitalized when all the other directory names are lower 
case?  that just seems a bit odd.

  Likewise, it makes a little more sense for the source to be in 
src/cfjavaeditor  and not cfeditor, simply as the former more closely matches 
the name everywhere else in the directory.  but thats a more minor point.
