Java2Html Plugin for JSPWiki causes downtime

There's an annoying thing that currently happens with the Java code on my wiki: selecting code to copy doesn't work in Firefox (try it). Any easy workaround is to use IE. However, I found a solution yesterday after communicating with the author of the Java2HtmlPlugin for JSPWiki. His solution was to upgrade to the latest version (4.1) of the library. I did the upgrade yesterday morning, tweaked a couple of stylesheets and called it good. The copying was working and everything seemed to be fixed.

In the last 24 hours, this site has crashed around 8 times - seemingly every two hours. This is strange b/c it's been up a week at a time prior to that, as well as the fact that my ISP has scripts to restart Tomcat if it's not responsive. The only thing I changed was the java2html.jar, so I'm guessing that was the problem. I backed out the change this morning - and copying with Firefox is going to suck once again. Hopefully that change fixes the stability of this site.

Update: This site crashed 3 times today even after I backed out yesterday's change. It must be something else. It's wierd that it's crashing now after having several weeks of excellent stability.

Not sure why this works...but if you hold ctrl and click on a code block you can copy/paste the block fine. Still rather annoying though.

Just to be a pain... I have to say 24/8 = 3 ;) Thanks James for the tip on the Ctrl+Left Click. It would be nice to be able to select a section of a block, but the whole block is better than a single line ;) I must agree with you Matt, stability of the site is far more important.

Or you can start graping from the right-hand bottom corner and move your way up to copy a block. Of course CTRL and click is far easier.

You can also do SHIFT-click by first clicking at the top of the code and then using SHIFT-click at the bottom. Mozilla rememebers where your first click occured, thus allowing you to select a range. It is interesting what you find out when you are testing bugs.

Don't know if this has changed, as I haven't tried it lately, but... When I copied/pasted from my browser (IE or Firefox) to Eclipse and compiled, I got all kinds of errors. If I went through and deleted all the white spaces and recreated them from Eclipse (the white spaces) everything seemed to work fine. Not sure why.

I tried that: SHIFT Click and while holding SHIFT click at the bottom.

I use the AutoCopy extension for FF and it seems to work OK for me. As the name implies, you just select the desired text and it is automatically copied to the clipboard.

Copying seems to work fine for me. Perhaps something has changed in Firefox? I'm using 1.5.0.4.
