I think the current message is shortened a bit too much, this one would have helped much more. If space is such a big requirement, then it can stay as it is of course. Regardless the unclear message I found the reason quite fast ;) Which reminds me of a question though... why am I not allowed to use bindTo to bind a primitive? bye Jochen -- Jochen "blackdrag" Theodorou - Groovy Project Tech Lead blog: http://blackdragsview.blogspot.com/ german groovy discussion newsgroup: de.comp.lang.misc For Groovy programming sources visit http://groovy-lang.org _______________________________________________ mlvm-dev mailing list mlvm-dev@openjdk.java.net http://mail.openjdk.java.net/mailman/listinfo/mlvm-dev
