I'm sure we will get plenty of opportunity when Microsoft releases C#.
Anyone up to prove that C# is syntactic sugar by patching Sun's JDK to
accept C# syntax? :-)

There's a simple test. If you "ls -l" your JDK source tarball, it should be
precisely 19742229 bytes. If you have any other size, I think you may have
downloaded the wrong sources. I have just downloaded the tarball again to
make sure, and it is still correct.

That is correct ... euh ... Greg, I thought that people had to
click-through-sign a license agreement and that the direct download was no
longer available.

Follow the link on my howto page, from there click on "download" for the top
one of the three. That should give you the correct sources. Look for the
19MB tarball.

Let me know how it went.
