In my particular test build, using hsqldb 2.2.9 for a build with Oracle java 7 does not produce acceptable results either. Some further information: http://markmail.org/message/kswggpb4cz3gmscg many of these issues came to light with the common use of java7 by users. If you do a search with "java7" many more issues will arise. Or look in BZ. As others have pointed out, we really have no dedicated developers in the DB area, and we can't expect users to be stuck with an outdated java just to run AOO. So, that's the story. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MzK "Achieving happiness requires the right combination of Zen and Zin."
