Upcoming changes to JDK7 build process: JIBX

Hello,

As part of the Nimbus forwardport into JDK7, a change to the build 
process is being made.

Nimbus generates many of its source files automatically at build time. 
The generator is based on a third-party project, JIBX 
(jibx.sourceforge.net). Specifically, it needs the following 4 jar files 
to run:
         bcel.jar
         jibx-bind.jar
         jibx-run.jar
         xpp3.jar

These files can be downloaded from
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=69358&package_id=68290

By default, these files are looked for in /java/devtools/share/jibx/lib 
or J:\share\jibx\lib. You can specify another path with the 
ALT_JIBX_LIBS_PATH variable.

Note that this is a build-time dependency only; the jar files are not 
copied to the resulting build.

Thanks!
