Problem conclusion

• The problem was caused because  wmIS v6 uses an older version of
  Java than wmIS 7 or 8.  As part of the changes from GH Tester to
  Rational Integration Tester the plug-in ended up relying on
  features in the Java language that are not present when running
  in wmis 6.  This has been changed in release 8.0.1.2 so that the
  plug-in detects this and acts accordingly.
