Can't get it working on Ubuntu 16.04.1

First of all the releases are msi files which make them hard to use with mono. Seems no way to run them.

I’ve both tried with the mono that comes with my distribution and xamarin mono and the results are the same. When trying to run the extracted .exe I get (libmono-system-windows-forms4.0-cil is installed):

Unhandled Exception:
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'StopWatch.NativeMethods' threw an exception. ---> System.EntryPointNotFoundException: RegisterWindowMessage
  at (wrapper managed-to-native) StopWatch.NativeMethods:RegisterWindowMessage (string)
  at StopWatch.NativeMethods..cctor () <0x40b525e0 + 0x00013> in <filename unknown>:0 
  --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
[ERROR] FATAL UNHANDLED EXCEPTION: System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'StopWatch.NativeMethods' threw an exception. ---> System.EntryPointNotFoundException: RegisterWindowMessage

  at StopWatch.NativeMethods..cctor () <0x40b525e0 + 0x00013> in <filename unknown>:0 
  --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

So then I tried compiling, but this gives me:

/home/ubuntu/jirastopwatch/StopWatch.sln (default targets) ->
(Build target) ->
/home/ubuntu/jirastopwatch/source/StopWatch/StopWatch.csproj (default targets) ->
/usr/lib/mono/4.5/Microsoft.Common.targets (GenerateResources target) ->

	/usr/lib/mono/4.5/Microsoft.Common.targets: error : Tool exited with code: 1. Output: Error: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation.
Inner exception: AND data length expected 512, read 0

Any thoughts?

@wouterhund You can try another jira client - https://github.com/web-pal/chronos-timetracker it works on linux as well

@carstengehling Thanks for the insights and the program. I also use it on win10 and really appreciate it.
