Yes thanks for helping. About concurrent. We are using the old version and plan to do so until a subsequent release. Right now we are jdk1.3 compatible. After this release, we can move to jdk1.4. Then we can use the backport version of concurrent. This uses the same packaging as in the jdk1.5, so it will be optional for jdk1.5 users at that time.
