No. As the release notes say: "6u18 includes version 16.0 of the Java HotSpot Virtual Machine." HotSpot Express is shipped with JDK 6 and 7 and that's why HotSpot contains JSR 292 code. But the JDK does not. -- Christian _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
