I built FVWM from source when 2.5.7 was released and, since I was happy with
the way it worked, and didn't feel I was missing anything, I had no
compelling reason to upgrade.  As soon as I do, I will!  :-)

So what do I do about this?  Yes, Eclipse is written in Java.  But it runs
well under CDE (and I assume other WMs since it is a very popular IDE).  Can
FVWM run Eclipse well too?  Or does FVWM simply not execute Java apps well?
