OK, I've now put a real pure-Java version of the 1.2beta13 distiller at ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/transient/janssen/plucker-build-1.2beta13.jar.
You invoke it as java -classpath SOMEWHERE/plucker-build-1.2beta13.jar pluckit ARGS where SOMEWHERE is where you've put the jar file, and ARGS are the standard args to the plucker-build command. This can easily be wrapped in a two-line shell script called "plucker-build" :-). I actually prefer this to the Python version: there's no Python to install, there are no Redhat bugs to encounter, there's no need to install any imaging utilities, and the Web retrieval library works better. This is all assuming you have a working Java 1.2 or better, of course. The sources are the Python sources, re-compiled to Java with Jython 2.1. Thanks to Marco Schmidt and the Java Imaging Utilities project (jiu.sourceforge.net) for providing a great GPL-ed Java toolkit for image hacking!
