Colors in library lists

Color Description Troubleshooting
Black The library is defined correctly.  
Red The library definition is missing. This typically means the project refers to a library that is not yet defined. It can also mean the library has been defined without any paths.
Gray Use of this library requires an upgrade. You need to upgrade your edition of JBuilder in order to use this library. For example, if you have JBuilder Personal, use of the dbSwing library requires that you upgrade to JBuilder Professional or Enterprise.
