Hello;
Sorry that I was misunderstood.
I didn't really mean the patch was redundant:
- I am aware that upstream (hsqldb) will be releasing a new version (2.3)
which will fix the jdk7 problems and will work with AOO.
- I am not aware of anyone working on updating this so if you guys have a
patch that works *now* just go ahead and commit it.
While here let me remind you that to solve the jdk7 issue you have to
look at i121098. The fix is rather trivial but someone else has to do
it.
Pedro.
