The first thing I tried after successfully building from source, was java -version.
In M9 it prints out: c:\harmony-jdk-761593\jre\bin>java -version Apache Harmony Launcher : (c) Copyright 1991, 2008 The Apache Software Foundation or its licensors, as applicable. java version "1.5.0" pre-alpha : not complete or compatible svn = r761593, (Apr 3 2009), Windows/ia32/msvc 1310, release build http://harmony.apache.org but in the M10 candidate it only prints: c:\apache-harmony-src-r781724\target\hdk\jdk\jre\bin>java -version java version "1.5.0" Apache Harmony (1.5.0) DRLVM (11.2.0) which is a regression IMHO, and so I'm inclined to vote -1 on this release candidate. Besides the all important copyright statement missing, when we gather JIRAs we ask people to tell us the version they are running and without the specific platform/revision it is useless. The regression seems to have come in as r763589.
