I have now told the java list that I'll ask for the removal of these dummy packages. One person have answered and said that would be a good thing. So I'll do that.

You are right. Finally I have really something to rely on when I want the -dummy packages to be removed. :) They have to use equivs instead... Thanks for all replies. Finally I'll get this ball rolling. Regards, // Ola > -- > "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring > them all and in the darkness grind them.
