I'll guess that Raymond will want to get the pass-by-reference improvements into this release so what ever happens we'll need to respin to pick those up, what else needs to get done for that respin? Do we need to make further sample improvements right now or can that be done over later releases?
Florian - have you found why that itest is using the wrong directory in your environment? Mike - I'm hoping the dom4j issue will go away if it uses the version in the central repo, but what about the sample running issues you first mentioned, do they sound like the same as this issue thats just come up with the beta1 samples - http://apache.markmail.org/message/jzu3c2ixbcqwbie7 ...ant
