Moving to sourceforge Was: Re: jde-import-kill-extra-imports not working

Hi Carlos,

You seemed ready, willing, and able to move JDEE to sourceforge.  Can
you just go ahead and do it please?  It seems that if we continue to
wait for Paul, we could be waiting indefinitely.  If Paul finds time
to help in the process that's OK, but we should not further delay the
move.


Cheers,
Len.
