The responses to Cliff Rowley's question are somewhat disappointing. Cliff
has posted many times to this list (I counted 7 in June). Even if you
didn't know that, and even if you didn't know that the content of at least
_some_ of his postings concerned JDK 1.2.2, wouldn't it logically make sense
that he is referring to JDK1.2.2? JDK1.1.8 and the Blackdown 1.2.2 are
already ports!
Also, did I miss an announcement? Was patchset 9 declared 'beta', or has
patchset 10 been released? (as beta? if so, I need to update from 9).
I haven't seen many complaints about patchset 9 as alpha/beta, and a 'port'
would entice more testers, so I think that Cliff's question makes sense.
John
