The Visual Studio 2008 compiler has strict type checking, and the build is failing in AWT with errors like this:

I will add a list of files and the suggested fixes when I have collected everything in AWT.

N/A

I have already fixed most of the places with conversion for LPWSTR, LPCWSTR, LPTSTR, LPCTSTR, jchar* and other types is required. The rest are in progress.

Fixed with 6585765.
