4 of the examples stopped compiling (for the same reason) with their port to
version 47/48

the error is:
Cannot find class "color" [JLS 8]

it has something to do with confusion in passing colors into methods and
classes.

the examples affected:
drawing 02
input09
input08
transform05

also that pesky pmouseX, pmouseY seems to be behaving oddly again.
it's skipping beats. try this:

void setup() {
  size(200, 200);
  noBackground();
  refresh();
}

void loop() {
  stroke(255);
  if(mousePressed && pmouseX != 0 && pmouseY != 0) {
    line(mouseX, mouseY, pmouseX, pmouseY);
  }
}

// the kludge with pmouseX != 0 etc. has to do with their default to 0.
// would it be possible to automatically have P5 set the pmouseX and
// pmouseY to mouseX and mouseY on the first frame?
// comment that line out to see what i'm talking about

_ can't used random() inside constructor.. (Glen Murphy)
_   maybe related to problems loading images in constructors
_   check output from file that's created.. seems to fail silently(?)

While I've used random() in other projects often without fail, if I uncomment the 'float r = random(50);', the applet window fails to appear, with no error messages. 

(this code is a mutilated version of working code, just to show the error). 
int WIDTH = 500; 
int HEIGHT = 500; 
int NUMMINES = 6; 
Mine mine[] = new Mine[NUMMINES]; 
class Mine { 
  int NUMSPOKES = 12; 
  float x, y, size; 
  Spoke spoke[] = new Spoke[NUMSPOKES]; 
  Mine(float xIn, float yIn, float sizeIn) { 
    x = xIn; 
    y = yIn; 
    size = sizeIn; 
    for(int i = 0; i < NUMSPOKES; i++) { 
 //float r = random(50); 
 spoke[i] = new Spoke(size+i, i*5, i); 
 } 
    } 
  } 

class Spoke { 
  float dist, dir, dirVel; 
  Spoke(float distIn, float dirIn, float dirVelIn) { 
    } 
  } 

void setup() { 
  size(500,500); 
  ellipseMode(CENTER_DIAMETER); 
   
  for(int i = 0; i < NUMMINES; i++) { 
    mine[i] = new Mine(random(0,WIDTH), random(0,HEIGHT), random(10,30)); 
    } 
  }

Subject: Error during export.

During export, I've recieved the message "Error while compiling, please
send code to bugs@proce55ing.net".  The following code runs, but doesn't
export in 0044 or 0046.

I wonder if it has anything to do with my vector2d class - Java has a
class Vector2d, but it is in javax.vecmath.Vector2d and the case is
differant.

Thanks,
Mike Davis

bug in comments 

rev: 0046, w2k

sometimes (never when creating a new sketch, only when an old one has been loaded), if I try to add a comment to identify the end of a method class, ie like 
 
void Sample () 
{ 
  <basic code here> 
} // end of Sample handler 
 
P5 return me an unexpected 'handler' token error! 
And when I change this comment to  
} /* end of Sample handler */ 
everything comes back to normal?! 
 
This don't happen everytimes.. but once it started, the error stay there!  
Just try it in your next sketchbook, add some comments at the end of your methods, and see what happen
