If this is the consensus, then perhaps we should consider setting --disable-warnings-as-errors by default (in the code), rather than depending on the user using an option which is not part of the formal build instructions.
I'm not sure why. Building OpenJDK from source isn't exactly something that is done by normal users. If someone is willing to hack on the OpenJDK code base, I would assume they know about -Werror and similar options and how to control them. I mean, yes, you can change that to have -Werror turned off by default, but having the compiler complain less is usually a bad idea. Adrian -- .''`.
