Thanks to Joe, Jon, Scott, and Wei.

I mentioned that Joe managed to sneak in a few extra fixes in b83:

5009037: (JSR 269) document differences between source and class file views of a declaration
6376102: (JSR 269) Update JSR 269 to Public Review Draft v0.67
6401101: (JSR 269) SourceVersion must fully specify the platform version

Also, I previously mentioned the change from -target 5 to -target 6: I have just verified that the change is in our workspace, hopefully it will stay fixed this time ;-)

Wei brought down the memory consumption of javac when generating stack maps (-target 6). Also worth mentioning to those that prefer to stick with Tiger: Nishant has ported my cast fixes to 5.0u8. Finally, I'm happy to report that I got the wildcard bug nailed this time.
