The whole thing failed at the end because we don't have Java, but I guess this is not really needed for anything? ;-)

You are right, it is not needed. I will disable the java build in the standard setup, since we supply a pre-built .jar file anyway.

P.S. Since I've also had transmission problems, I attach yesterday's mail about the Solaris build.

Thanks for the copy, but I received it yesterday. My reply (again) went to you alone, so I guess you are not receiving direct emails, only the ones on the nhc-bugs list. I'll copy that message to the list as well, to ensure you receive it. Regards, Malcolm
