Thank you. Would you think that it is a good idea to add this text to a new section in building.txt? I can supply the patch to the documentation if you concur, just not sure if this should go into a new file or an addendum to the existing one I see that the binary releases that are available are signed by you. So perhaps I could ask why there isn't a 64 bit mod_jk included? I assume the answer will relate to your response to the above question Thanks for your help Chris
