Description Georg Müller 2004-10-19 07:59:29 UTC

The most of all java sources is completely independent from the underlying architecture.So it if I want to test something on amd64, I have to add the arch keyword to about 5 packages to test one (struts as an example).
Isn't it possible to mask java packages with an independent keyword (java or so), except these few hardware close packages.

No... Just because it runs in a VM doesn't mean support is there for it in general.

agreed

this also goes against our general QA
