The latest release of liblouisutdml is now available on the downloads 
page of http://www.abilitiessoft.com The Java bindings have been tested 
and work as expected. Your compiler will need to be Java-aware, but you 
will not need Java itself. The C part of the bindinngs are built 
automatically by autotools. The Java part is not. If you have ant you 
can just type "ant" in the java subdirectory. If you do not, you can get 
a jar file by using basic Java commands. If you are not using autotools 
you can actually build liblouisutdml qnd its tools without the Java 
bindings.

Note that the version of the liblouisutdml library in the recent release 
of BrailleBlaster is for Linux. Laura Eaves is working on a port to 
Windows. The major problem has been which compiler to use. Priting to 
the mac should involve simply running the Gnu autotools scripts, then 
coppying the libraries to the BrailleBlaster native/lib subdirectory. 
The nativeLavrarySuffix inBBIni.java will also have to be changed. This 
will soon be set automatically for the operating system.
