What is the status of Castor Oil???
According to Lance, it should be included in the CVS in
org.exolab.castor.tools, but I don't see it in the 9.3 source. (Its still
available on the web at http://www.brainopolis.net/lance/castor/)
This looks like a great integration tool. Will it be incorporated into
future releases?
