Pierre, I have neither the inclination nor skill to chase down and evaluate the failures myself. Let me be clear, the only thing I'm asking for is these four lines from the version chosen for the book be CAPTURED at the time it is the current release, and presented in the book for reference: jdk8u152-b01 Passed Failed* Not Run** Error Summary jdk 5085 16 880 1 5982 hotspot 658 43 17 4 722 langtools 3109 0 0 4 3113 Certainly these numbers now 50 updates since the version I will build are of little to no use to me. Of course, this is not the first place in the book where we may be told, "YMMV". I think we are in agreement that having run the tests, if we were to get numbers approximately like those, then *probably* the build went OK and we can move on. -- Paul Rogers [email protected] Rogers' Second Law: "Everything you do communicates."
