Episode Bulter and AWT_TOOLKIT environment flag

Hi

I couldn't find a place to report issues/potential problems with Episode Butler, so I try to do it here!

I'm running on Ubuntu, I'm running a couple of other java apps, and one of them require that I set AWT_TOOLKIT=MToolkit. Ufortunately Episode Butler doesn't like that one bit, it crashes during startup, it would have been nice with a more polite way reminding me that I set that environment variable a long time ago.

To be honest I do not think it is a problem wit Episode Butler. Episode butler has only a minor dependency on AWT. AWT is only used to show the popups indicating something went wrong during startup. A workaround is setting 'gui.console' to true to force Episode Butler to not use dialogs and only print the errors to stdout.

I am however very interested in the logs to see why this setting makes episode butler crash. Do you still have these logs? And if so, could you please send them to me?
