[josm-dev] Strange compilation errors in Eclipse

[Brent Easton]

Hi Rainer,

It is a strange Eclipse bug that has been reported several times in this forum before.

Comment out the offending lines containing the marktr lines and save the file. Don't worry if this causes other compile errors.

Uncomment the offending lines and the problem will be fixed.

Regards,
Brent.
