In lack of feedback (I rarely use forums) I haven't touched the article since updating/verifying it. With immediate feedback I would have fixed it right away. I will update the article now but Johnny is welcome to update it further as he now have access. I'm not totally digging the structure but there was too much there already for me to rearrange it or verify the other parts of the article. I think keeping 1.6 current covers must use cases atleast. Perhaps the actual building/installing step should be one single section but with smaller alternative stubs inline for each Java version. Since all in all, the instructions are similar regardless of JVM version and it might make it easier to maintain, what do you think? > REQUEST: As to the matter of adding edit rights after a request here, I > would ask that the person asking, affirm that they are 'reachible' > through the wiki mecahnism, and have set up their account with the > 'userprefs': > "Publish my email (not my wiki homepage) in author info" > clicked on, such that this envelope would appear in the 'Info' log.
