Right.  The question is whether there is a free-software
project to produce a java plugin for mozilla.  So I'm really
wondering about that.

I know that there has been a lot of talk about using gcj to
get the java parts of openoffice working, but it seems to me
that a free-as-in-speech-and-source-code mozilla/firefox
plugin to implement java applets in mozilla would be a HUGE
deal.

I don't know much about java and gij/gcj, but I think that
there is some connection between the gij/gcj runtime and X11
to produce graphics.  I've also read that the big problem is
not so much with the interpreter/compiler as with the class
libraries, which require some reverse engineering.

Oh, well, maybe some day.
