Some times ago I tried to run the make for nio/charsets via CYGWIN. It turned out, that I was required to have Visual Studio installed, because $(BUILDDIR)/common/Defs.gmk always looks for the C compiler. Can this dependency interweaved in a different way, so building of JDK parts without C sourc

Hi Volker, thanks for your clarification in brief words. That's exactly what me irritates too. I would be so convenient, having some debug builds somewhere to download, ready for use. To be exact, the 6u25 fastdebug binary, you have mentioned, is not a release version, it's an EA version. -U
