Re: bug in MimeTypeParameterList

This bug fix has been applied to the trunk. JOnAS needs an activation 
implementation corresponding to the JAF1.0.x/J2EE1.4 version of the 
spec. Would it be possible to apply the same patch to the 1.0.x branch 
and tag a release there? Objectweb would use this activation release for 
future 4.7.x and 4.8.x releases of JOnAS. AFAICT, there have been no 
other bug fixes on the trunk since the introduction of the JAF1.1 code.
