If you want it to be portable, don't use a non-standard extension to a tool, such as jikes dependency features. We used jikes for our day-day development, but move back to using 'javac' for our Q/A and final builds. That way we can complain to Sun when things don't work. ;) Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
