Sure, thanks for clarifying, but it makes no difference to the real situation: we are not in a position to dictate to someone building OpenJDK exactly which version of JIBX will be installed on their system. The build systems used by distros aren't guaranteed to have exactly Version X of JIBX. Andrew.
