Hi Craig,Ahh but they weren't in the release. They were in SVN. The "release" distribution doesn't have them.I don't follow. The files were checked into the releases/2.3-ea directory in svn. Was checking them in part of the release process?No, but then the instructions for release aren't simple.

They wereunder "db/jdo/**branches** not **releases**, so my previous reply was simply to verify if the license of aforementioned jars prohibits existence in SVN;they aren't being distributed. Either way they aren't there now.
It's both. The jars are only available by agreeing to a "click- through" license and are unsuitable for either svn or releases. They are part of what we now call "system requirements" that can be installed by developers in their own environments but not "distributed" via either svn or releases.
Wish you people would sort your licenses out, then none of this would be a problem ;-)Who is "you people"? Sun, who don't release these jars under a licensethat Apache finds suitable?Just my vain attempt at humour. There was a smiley. I'll stick to seriousstuff from now on :-)
You should know by now that we are a humourless lot! ;-) Craig
