Hi guys,

I got a...

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.VerifyError: (class: com/inexas/eiap/page/
PageParserImpl, method: terminate signature: (I)V) Unable to pop operand off an 
empty stack
	at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
	at java.lang.Class.forName(Class.java:164)
	at com.inexas.eiap.page.BuildTestPageParser.main(BuildTestPageParser.java:22)

The reason was because I had a line of code which read

   textBuilder.append(currentWord.terminate());

where the terminate() method returns void....

   void terminate()

The compiler missed the error (so did I!!!!). It was in a switch statement
if that makes any difference.

Keep up the good work - great stuff!!!
