I was close to master already, but apparently not close enough.

Upgrading everything to current master results in:

ERROR: ParseError at 
/home/mike/projects/.../meta-oe/meta-oe/recipes-extended/sip/sip_4.16.4.bb:19: 
Could not inherit file classes/qmake2.bbclass

I don't care either, I'm happy when "helloworld.java" runs on target.
