This is another problem that has been found & fixed. The solution is
to remove a file regxxx.txt from your home directory (that file
corresponds to the JBuilder 2007 Enterprise Trial) and JBuilder
automagically reverts to the freebie-but-goodie Turbo JBuilder.
A CodeGear guy told me that being multi-platform, JBuilder does not
store anything in the &#%* Windows registry.
