Hi Mark,
I've tried running the "ant export-full" and "ant export-full-sources"
targets with various JVMs and don't see any problems. So can you elaborate
on exactly what commands you're running, and which JVM?
Re: the need for the "sources" target. Does seem a bit redundant now we
have anonymous access to the repositories, so I've no strong objections to
just removing them.
Cheers,
Peter.
