Nope, no way to avoid it. I don't know any way to handle this except
to commit my changes and then debug the continuous build server as
errors pop up. Is that ok with you? The requirements are here:
https://jdic.dev.java.net/documentation/README.html#Build%20the%20Source
Let me know when you've had a chance to look to see if that's doable.
Even if it all builds correctly, the javahelp build won't work because
I don't know what the jdic output is in order to use it to build
javahelp. So my initial commit will have a few things commented out
and I'll have to look at what's produced in the hudson server.
Thanks,
