Thanks, Knut.
I wonder what we should say about dblook in the release notes. I feel
that the coding is almost done, but the feature needs a lot of
verification, which won't happen in the time remaining for 10.6. What if
anything should we say about dblook in 10.6?
Thanks,
-Rick

Thanks for looking into that, Knut. I have removed the dblook task from
the feature list and moved dblook into a concluding list of deferred
items: http://wiki.apache.org/db-derby/DerbyTenSixOneRelease

I took the patch that far as well (so that it compiles for 1.4). I
think I have the diffs lying somewhere, they were smallish. Let me
know if you'd like to dig them up. I am too busy with other stuff
right now to run with this.
Thanks,
Dag

The code has not been committed yet, so unless someone is actually
planning to finish the work for 10.6, I don't think we need to say
anything about it.
The patch that's attached to the issue (DERBY-4272) still applies to
head of trunk, and the code builds. It looks like it changes the
compilation of the tools classes so that they'll only work on Java 5 or
later, though. I tried to change that back to 1.4, but the code
apparently uses some Java 5 methods. It's probably not that much work to
get it to compile for 1.4, but it won't happen until someone volunteers
to scratch that itch.
