Also in > this example there is not really any "up" or "down" The scope of the current discussion/bug report is not visibility of code within the same project to support interleaving dependencies.

The lead in that NetBeans project/department closed it, although he is considering a counter-proposal of mine: http://www.netbeans.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=152943#desc13 - Chas --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JVM Languages" group.
