The major change in the update is that it now builds the port from source. This is in response to reported problems with the port in running under a JDK1.3.X environment (including Diablo). The JBoss binaries from sourceforge.net are compiled with a JDK1.4+ JDK, and are rumoured to cause problems when running under JDK1.3.X. By building the binaries from source, I'm hoping that the problems will go away; but I can't know this for sure unless someone tries to install and start JBoss3 under a JDK1.3.X environment. Could anyone out there using JDK1.3.1+ please try it out and let me know if it works for you (once the PR has been committed and the CVSup server updated). Cheers. -- Jonathan Chen ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Only the meek get pinched. The bold survive." - Ferris Bueller
