I'm here yes :) I will try to come back to the Ant thing on tomorrow cause I
think
now it is time to have a Win distrib that compile properly. I'll keep you
informed in
the coming days. I'll try to recompile the last version of Ant from their
CVS, and
hopefully they will have corrected some bugs related to Jikes. Anyway, if I
still
have some troubles with Jikes, I'll do a Ant build with javac for the
moment.
