The NPE at jake2.qcommon.Compatibility.newString should be fixed by the patch

Please comment there if it helps you and vote for it.

The Patch did not work for me for some unrelated reason however I found that 
you only need to add 3 lines from the aforementioned patch in to 
src/jake2/tools/Installer.java from the top of the page

 package jake2.tools;
+import jake2.gwt.server.CompatibilityImpl;
+import jake2.qcommon.Compatibility;
 import java.io.File;

 public class Installer {
   public static void main(String args[]) throws Throwable {
+   Compatibility.impl = new CompatibilityImpl();
     Downloader.main(args);

Hello,

Adding the 3 lines to installer.java worked fine for me too. But I also had to 
remove folders war/baseq2 and raw/baseq2 before rebuild. If not, the sistem 
find existing directory and go on buiding without downloading and unpacking 
necesary files, which leads to black screen failure on browser.

Those three lines fixed this problem for me using Ubuntu 10.04 server. I then 
used

   sudo ant clean-resources

to remove the old war/baseq2 and raw/baseq2 directories so the subsequent

   sudo ant run

installed them correctly.
