LST Editor Verification

Introduction

This is a test run on the current (5.16.2) LST editors to identify what paths are safe and the bugs that need to be fixed.

Environment: Windows XP, Java 1.6, PCGen 5.16.2, Pathfinder RPF Gamemode (data release 6)

Conclusion

As shipped in 5.16.2, all editors apart from the source editor are able to function well enough for their intended audience of creating simple LST items by light users. Most do have some minor issues which will be addressed in 5.16.3. The source editor is the exception and is not currently usable. Again this will be rectified n 5.16.3

As a result the request for a warning dialog on the LST editors will be cancelled and it is recommended that people be assisted with the use of the LST editors rather than discouraging their use.
