Yeah, that one is super bogus.  And, I think, not actually needed.

Anyway, commit that if you like.  You have rhug access, right?

Mark> Strangely the attach source step didn't work. I always get:

Hmm.  Did you choose Workspace... when specifying the source path?  I
did... anyway, check your .log, maybe this is a bug somewhere.

Yup, this is why I think Eclipse is the easiest way to develop
Classpath.  At least, that is true for the Java side of things.  For
the native code the traditional tools are probably still in the lead.
