Hi Niels, I appreciate your feedback. I guess Java7 should be considered a "transition" and thus should go through the Release Team. IMO, I don't think we need 100% success on the rebuild - i.e. I'd prefer that we get everyone building and uploading with Java7 as soon as is reasonable. That is, I think some breakage is acceptable and will help us decide what is important to get working with Java7 and what is too old or crufty and should be removed. Can you edify me about how to coordinate/request the rebuild? I will dcut the upload and will clean up (delete) the tag in svn/pkg-java. Thank you, tony
