Josip: People who's ability to feed their families depends on keeping production environments from failing DO, in fact, research things such as the version of the JDK on which they should run an application, and it sure would be helpful if the official product documentation aided in that research. Failure to realize this will be bad for James--at least if you've got amibitions for it.

that's not the point -  nathan is upset - and rightly so - because a known

the config nor the readme.

since there are many variances of james running in production environments -
which are active contributors to these lists, it makes sense to maintain a
gotcha file (not the bug list) of known bugs in their configurations that
will bring james down.

what was suggested was to maintain a list of system critical caveats that
would point out system configurations that are known to fail.

Easy to say _now_, but if we knew that before, you'd be able to learn it from this list. Comments like this would soon grow into huge useless file noone would ever read. I.e. - as of j2sdk 1.4.2_05, Sun has finally fixed ClassLoader.loadClass() method by adding checkName() method. Since ClassLoader now works according to the specification, code written for j2sdk earlier than 1.4.2_05 may fail with strange ClassDefNotFoundError messages. If you experience this behaviour using Sun java, please downgrade to jdk 1.4.2_03 or earlier. - jdk v this on hpux v that was linked with zlib that may produce buffer underrun. Although no such exploits is known yet, please upgrade to jdk v something before someone breaks into your network by mailing you a picture.

Etc... IMHO this list is _much_ better, and provides me (and as we've
just seen, you too) with much better tech support level than
any company.
