I am getting an error with my built jar files.  I connect up fine (bind with 
cn=Directory Manager).  When I start expanding the tree, and click on the + 
sign next to Server Group.  It throws an error

Failed to instantiate Server Object for Administration server

com.netscape.management.admserv.AdminServer cannot be cast to 
com.netscape.management.client.topology.IServerObject

I click ok,  and a slightly different error comes up

Failed to instantiate Server Object for Directory Server

com.netscape.admin.dirserv.DSAdmin cannot be cast to 
com.netscape.management.client.topology.IServerObject

If I click on the directory server under server group,  it says This server 
component has not been downloaded or it could not be activated.  I can see 
they were downloaded to C:\Documents and 
Settings\bullpen\.fedora-idm-console\jars.

I ran the console with a -D 9 and have the output up on pastbin

Looks like the errors are around line 475, 860 and 890.

I also have the build process I used when making the java components up on 
pastebin aswell.

The windows console will work fine if I delete the downloaded jars from 
windows.  And then copy over fc8 supplied jars 
into /opt/dirsrv/share/dirsrv/html/java ( and symlink them after).  So 
something in the build process is breaking my jars I guess :)
