Re: Why are the header classes final?

Right again. So the thing for David to do would be to test whether 
Asterisk works without the quotes and to make a customized version of  
Contact.java ( that is *not* part of the distribution). I think this is 
an Asterisk problem. Therefore, I think it would also be a good idea to 
make noises about this issue on the Asterisk mailing list.  In the 
meanwhile, in the interest of better performance, I am making all the 
header implementation classes final.
