I have one thought for all: Because of the complexity, we ought use the power of Brutus to use a brute force solution (pun intended), i.e. a few Gump instances ... one for each of the important JDK releases. I think one flavour of 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 is reasonable (but we've seen we have to be 1.4.2.whatever for that one). We could try to get complicated and teach Gump different compilers, but I think we'd get in an ugly pickle. That said, just like folks preferring a given release of a dependency, we could work up to growing to that. regards, Adam --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
