It's caused by jgoodies-forms-1.1.0 update which removed a constructor of DefaultFormBuilder deprecated probably in 1.0.5. The "new" working constructor has just its parameters swapped. I don't know if it's already present in forms-1.0.4 that jabref bundles, as sources seem to be gone and I don't have the time to check it from bytecode. Anyway 1.0.5 is the oldest we've ever had in tree and has the constructor with new order and the old deprecated. So the solution is to revbump jabref with a patch to use the new order, which will work with all forms versions we have. The patch should be sent upstream. They already seem to use forms-1.0.5 in 2.3beta, which means the new constructor is there, so the patch should be no problem for them. As a temporary workaround until somebody has the time to do this, I've updated jabref ebuild to force jgoodies-forms < 1.1.0
I thought I checked all reverse deps when version bumping jgoodies-forms. I guess I was wrong.
Patched thus fixed in 2.3_beta2. Patch submitted upstream - see $URL. They would have to update their bundled jgoodies-forms though since it does not work with their 1.0.4 anymore.
