One other point that occurred to me; AFAICS, there is no problem with the generics branch possibly containing the changes to the Swing accessibility code (limited on HEAD by gcj problems) and it may also be a good place to start looking at bringing the concurrency stuff into the fold. -- Andrew :-) Please avoid sending me Microsoft Office (e.g. Word, PowerPoint) attachments.
