      A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
      Error: " ... via the first Activatable constructor (that takes THREE arguments and both registers and exports the object, and ... "

      Correctly: The first Activatable constructor takes TWO arguments.

      By the way, the bug submittal feature of your site is SOO cumbersome and so unhelpful I think you should seriously reconsider the way it is structured. I found and find lots of small errors in your documentation but I would rather not spend minutes with forms, etc. You could simply put a direct link to a simple page, and I believe you would get much more feedback. Right now I have to open a page, check a checkbox after reading a very irrelevant page, then select from tons of options and hunt for the correct one in the comboboxes, and then I arrive here. What a mess! Each time!

      Why don't you replace the generic "Submit a bug or feature" link at the bottom of each API pages with one which is location sensitive (includes the page from which I arrive), fills in all the data (that it is J2SE 5.0, revision, page URL, etc.) and I could simply enter two lines? This does not take much (a script could do it all automatically on the pages, and the script at the server could be customized within max. half an hour).

      Please think about this. I believe people would be much more willing to help you.

      Thanks,
