Kevin... I would like to get this as a public RFE. Specifically because I would want others to cast their votes on this. I am concerned now that this won't go on the web site because of political reasons (censorship?). The RFE section is great especially because for about 2 years Linux support was number one on the RFE. Now if we can get this as a public RFE the Java community can vote on it. Thank you.
