Fair enough. If it's really only a few days, I have no objection, and if no one else has an objection, you might as well go for it. I hate seeing the build broken ever, but... Maybe the thing to do is send a separate mail w/ "build broken for windows AWT natives" or something, with the steps people can use to rollback and build if they must. geir --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
