Dev's, I am starting to test jglobus 2.0.5 against the grid tools sandbox projects. I think recent Unicore provider addition highlight discrepancies in dependencies on jglobus 1.8.x. If the testing in sandbox goes through fine, we should consider upgrading trunk to jglobus 2.0.x, but we can wait to push out the 0.7 release first. I will create a JIRA for this upgrade and update progress.
