Re: [stellation-res] Stellation 3rd party libs feature

Jeffrey -

Thanks for letting me know!

M4 is stricter w.r.t. installing features than previous releases, and the
current 3rd-party jar package is a bit malformed due to a misunderstanding
on my part.   I will reconfigure and rebuild the feature, ask Mark to 
sanity check it and then
upload it to the website downloads area.  Perhaps you could test it then, 
to verify it works?

FYI, I wrote up a doc on feature packaging last week (once I realized that
the issue uncovered by M4), and some members of the platform-update team are
helping check it for accuracy etc.  I will post it more generally when it's
finalized.

Thanks,

Jim
