Dude, chill out. 99% of his post was technical and that wasn't hardly
anything of a slam and easily could have been written tounge in cheek.
You were working on Linux releases when you were 15? I'm impressed.

True, but he isn't suggesting that we replace the GTK/Gnome peers. He said
in a previous message "My stuff is for tomorrow". A free software Java
library implementation will give him the base he needs to add in the
functionality he wants at a future date. In the meantime, he's working on
his own portion of the code. That sort of thing is what free software is all
about.
