Hi Nikolay,

I'm also happy with it, and thanks for taking care of this!

I agree with Omair that this should be discussed on a more general
mailing list. I guess discuss at openjdk.java.net is the place?

Can you please send there a mail there with this proposal? Once the mail
is there, I'll ping the Adoption group to be sure you get enough
attention and then we can try to speed up fixes to jcheck.

Thanks again!

Cheers,
Mario
