No, that's not correct. I have since found and repaired the bug. It
was a problem with the custom class loader (the one that is used to
load the addins), that was coincidentally combated by a bug in Java.
When the Java bug was fixed in 1.6, the bug in the custom class loader
finally surfaced. It was a simple fix though.

For anyone interested:

Open file ClassLoaderObjectInputStream.java (in jvc.util)

Change this:

protected Class resolveClass(ObjectStreamClass desc) throws
IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
Class class = theClassLoader.loadClass(desc.getName());
return class==null ? super.resolveClass(desc) : class;
}

To this:

protected Class resolveClass(ObjectStreamClass desc) throws
IOException,
ClassNotFoundException {
Class clazz = null;
try {
clazz = theClassLoader.loadClass(desc.getName());
} catch (ClassNotFoundException cnfe) {
clazz = super.resolveClass(desc);
}
return clazz;
}

Of course, the latest JVC version still has other problems, such as
the inability to save custom colors.
