I think the time is getting close for a 1.4 though, sounds like Alexey and Bill have nailed down most of the bugs.

There is no way from the CVS server standpoint to insist that people have agreed to the SCSL. The only way to do it is to add people by hand, which becomes a huge drain on resources. 2. It totally precludes us from switching to the up to date sources from Sun, we're stuck using the SCSL sources. -- Greg Lewis Email : glewis@eyesbeyond.com Eyes Beyond Web : http://www.eyesbeyond.com Information Technology FreeBSD : glewis@FreeBSD.org To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
