Thread: 8.3 build 605 downloads broken?

I needed the 8.3 latest jdbc3 (Java5) downloads, but the jar isn't a
valid zip file, and the source doesn't compile. I was able to use 8.4
build 701 fine. My database version is 8.3.

Cheers
Brad

Notice that normally, you are safe using 8.4 series. It is
compatible with earlier backend releases.

Thanks guys

Turns out the download was a browser cache issue - the first one failed
and therefore so did subsequent ones.

As for the source, I read the README which didn't mention to expect
missing classes (which I see are built by ant, now that I dig into the
build file). Maybe a comment re this should go in the README?

Sorry for the false alarm and thanks for the speedy replies
Brad
