Agreed. It would be better create an special 'java' section (as perl and python have there own sections too) but thats another issue. Eric: Can you please provide a patch against java-common so we can vote here about it? I guess thats the best democratic way and it shows directly how we change the policy instead of voting about some change we dont know how it will look like later.
