Yup. :-) Traditionally, the jdk can use the last major version for bootstrap and itself. The results are the same so it realy comes down to whatever is easiest for the builder. I do however use self bootstrap as a method to check the current build is working well enough to handle building itself. Also for the ppc/zero build there isn't a jdk 1.6 available to use so self bootstrap is the only option. Regards, -Kurt
