I am OK for the third beta. In the third beta we should have : - the <local> properties, - a new xml-apis.jar (probably the one which is distributed with Xerces-Java 2.5) - can we also have the endorsed libraries ? - other points ? Once these changes are done - hopefully soon - we will set new dates (for the third beta and for 1.6.0) Cheers, Antoine

I've just had a quick look at the code and wonder if the change in parallel could be avoided by copying on demand from the parent thread. Parallel uses ThreadGroups to make this possible already.
