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.
