We are pleased to announce that we have posted our 3rd milestone driver M3 for the new architecture of Build Forge on jazz.net. Your input is valued so please download and evaluate this milestone driver in your test environment. To aid ease-of-use and help you focus on evaluations, this milestone ships with a pre-configured Apache Derby database, removing the need for IBM Installation Manager. You can literally be setup in a matter of minutes to begin your evaluation.

This evaluation driver includes the following additions to the previous milestone driver:

* Platform: This milestone provides IBM JRE 1.6 Service Release 8.

* Dot commands:
