After a whole day work with NB6.7 there was no crash here. Once it got so slow, that it needed a restart. But repeating TestNG test runs a lot had no such effect. No wonder that openJDK is less polished (and is somewhat behind in performance wise) than our good old Sun JDKs. Unfortunately my need of using openJDK6 stems from the bug which exists in Sun JDKs before update10 (on Windows as well): in DatatypeCoverter from JAXB an internal member of DatatypeCoverterInterface of this class is not initialized and method calls result in NPE. I could not find a workaround (usage of NB is obligatory). Zsolt ------------ Zsolt K=C3=BAti
