Sorry about that. To build the 12_oct_2007 modules drop, please try the 
binary plugs for b21. They are available at 
http://download.java.net/openjdk/jdk7/promoted/b21/ . I did an OpenJDK 
test build on Solaris x86 and it worked fine for me with those.

Background: the build reorganization (langtools) caused some problems for 
our parent workspace, so we currently cannot sync up with the most recent 
changes. That means we are out of date wrt code changes elsewhere in the 
JDK, which happened to affect the binary plugs.

This may get resolved in time for the imminent build 23, but that is 
uncertain at this point. So if you don't see a big bringover that changes 
some 10000 files prior to b23 getting posted in a few days, please 
continue to use the b21 plugs for that Modules drop as well.

Andreas.
