How is answering a simple queston so that someone outside Sun can finally do th ecws and get it integrated "lack of resources"? How is patch -pX lack of resources? How is telling people how they need to change stuff to get a patch (which works for everyone else except Sun and is needed there) finalized to get integrated a resource problem? (The fix I have in mind is a triviality for someone who knows how to add/hide stuff in the Options dialogs) > Finally, I do not like statements implying "You are at Sun and thus not > part of the community.".
