Hi,

I didn't write that so I'm leaving the legacy stuff for Rein to
comment ;-)

But, I'm interested in the feelings about java. Is there a problem
somewhere that makes it difficult to use java? Anything in particular
that causes problems? I know java, swing, used to be ugly as h... but I
find its looking like a native app (on all the platforms) now.
