On one hand, I agree that this would be a stunningly useful idea as well! On the other hand, allowing users to (possibly by mistake) overwrite part of the shipped JDK install is a bad idea. But it would have been nice if they had included clear doc as to how and where the various endorsed standards impls were packaged and why, instead of lumping the single rt.jar file together. Hmmm - I wonder how other JDK vendors will package this stuff? 8-) ===== - Shane <eof .sig="'When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a very scornful tone, 'it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less'" "Oohayu oyod?!"=gis. /> __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
