I would prefer something like option #2, and so do a few other committers. I understand this produces an unacceptable working mode for you. I can live with that, and we can review the CHECKSTYLE comments later in an effort to make further improvements. I would like to hear Jeremias' comment on the removal of the deprecated methods. Deprecated methods are a fact of life. Simon -- Simon Pepping home page: http://www.leverkruid.eu
