Hi,

I'm having two issues with this build.

1) The namespace fix that you made did not solve the problem that I reported earlier. Namely, if I import a COPASI file which uses the "sbml:" tags and try to merge it with a model which does not use them, I still end up with namespace errors and dropped information.

2) If I try to use my fix before adding items, the program crashes.

spec.setSBMLNamespacesAndOwn(mainDoc.getModel().getSBMLNamespaces());

3) I get errors whenever I call checkConsistency:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: org.sbml.libsbml.libsbmlJNI.SBMLDocument_checkConsistency__SWIG_1(JLorg/sbml/libsbml/SBMLDocument;)J
at org.sbml.libsbml.libsbmlJNI.SBMLDocument_checkConsistency__SWIG_1(Native Method)
at org.sbml.libsbml.SBMLDocument.checkConsistency(SBMLDocument.java:1196)

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Chris
