Ok, that's an issue.

We wanted to get out the release as fast as possible. This issue can be
postponed and addressed later IMO.
The ant build only seems to work for JDK 1.3 when the geronimo jars
are overriden with the sun ones and doesn't work for me for JDK 1.4
(tests fail because it can't find junit). So it seems a waste of time
having them in the repo. I can update the ant build to download the
other jars (or allow them to be specified in a build.properties) if
its important to have a working ant build for 1.3.

The long time itself is not an issue, nothing has changed on the source code
since the latest RC except the headers. The commits I did recently don't fix the
issue (not buildable with JDK 1.3 due to 1.4 compiled dependencies), but only
show the issue at a different during a build. This itself does not warrant a new
RC IMO, but as the headers do so, it will be included in that RC as well.
I'm wondering how the RC was created since neither the ant or maven
builds seem to currently produce what RC3 contained. Maybe a
combination of the two was used with some manual intervention? IMO its
important for the release to be easily re-created and the maven1 build
should be used since the ant build seems to have too many problems.
If it helps I can tag and produce another RC (using the maven build).
