Unfortunately making our own CD won't work. According to the security we have to go through to place a program on a secure machine, we have to have the software from a trusted Vendor. As an example, mySql we could have downloaded and burned to a CD, but that wasn't good enough. We had to find a vendor that distributes it, such as Nusphere. Don't ask me why it has to be done like this, but it does. I have said the same thing that I'm sure every one of you is thinking while you're reading this thread.

On the original posters needs - why not get the source from CVS, build it yourself and burn your own disk. There will be no viruses because Java viruses are not out in the wild. You still have to worry about security of the content; even if there is nothing in CVS, there is still that famous hack Kernigan did to the Unix login program by modifing the C compiler to place the back door in when login got rebuilt, and to replicate the back door insertion code when cc got rebuilt. you probably need to start by building jikes from C++ source using a trusted C++ compiler, then use that to build xerces and ant. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
