This is the first I've heard of RC1 not Jarring. Can you provide a bug report? > Milind : At this point, I am guessing that RC2 is at least a month away? > Will the jar and dist just work?

There are a group of us who definitely are going to see Jelly 1.0 come out as soon as we can get the bugs fixed. -- http://www.multitask.com.au/people/dion/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
