I think it would be much preferrable if open source projects * implemented standards rather than "embrace and extend" standards in incompatible manners so as to make political statements * was fixed rather than worked around (as is done with non-opensource products). I would suggest you send a bug fix to the GNU Classpath project. BTW neither japhar, kaffe, classpth nor apache are opensource - they are actually free software ;) Cheers, Pete *-----------------------------------------------------* | "Faced with the choice between changing one's mind, | | and proving that there is no need to do so - almost | | everyone gets busy on the proof." | | - John Kenneth Galbraith | *-----------------------------------------------------*
