Greetings,

RC2 of WM 2.0 is posted. This is the final release prior to Nov 1 next 
week unless there is some show-stoppper. I need the following input:

a) Are there any major issues with the jar or the distribution? In 2.0, 
there is a single release with source and binary and the build.xml for 
generating the minimal package runs out of the box as does compiling the 
sources.

b) Did you find the distribution easier to use for setting up a web 
application?

c) As a developer, did you appreciate that you can run "ant test" and 
immediately prove WM against the suite of included tests (setprops test 
is failing but will be fixed this week ... the directive is working 
great as far as I can tell in a separate test). Do you appreciate how 
the readme.html in the root directory navigates the many resources in 
the distribution?

d) It is really desireable to have someone write up a press release. 
Marc has been really good about this in the past. I will look up my 
contact at JavaWorld.

Lastly, even though WM is not in the Top 10, do not dismiss WM for 
heavy-duty production jobs. It is rock-solid as a result of a dedictated 
and lengthy development process.

Kindest,
