NeverFail Release Build Status Issues

NeverFail is a java jar executable to patch Articulate's QuizMaker's quizzes.
It rewrite quiz.swf's scoring function to update mark in case quiz have been failed (it doesn't change it if user succeed).
The new mark is picked randomly every runtime and can be adjusted in this code.
Main advantage of this method is that it doesn't produce .xml files and other data, it's all on quiz.swf and invisible (file size don't change).
