I completely agree about the forum idea. The JDNC is a truly great example of how Sun projects can work with the community and most importantly get feedback from the community. I feel the one-way website submission mechanism that currently exists is one of the reasons JWS has been lost in the weeds over the past 5 years. Feedback by definition is a two-way mechanism.
wrt single-threading I thought I read they improved that recently but I can't remember which changelog.
wrt the cache I agree too. Further, I notice that when my JWS cache gets over some 2GB limit the jardiff/download mechanism starts to exhibit weird behaviour (the initial progressbar stops coming up even though it is downloading jardiffs) and eventually stops working. This would be less likely to happen if JWS managed its cache better and cleaned up obsolete versions of classes.
