Then run a browser and load page:

J http server depends on a modern browser with javascript. There are so many
flavours and combinations it is hard to state requirements. In general a
browser released before 2006 will have very rough edges.
I'm not sure where this will lead. It depends on your feedback and
contributions. One possibility is that the core J release will look
something like this beta with the addition of JAL and Project Manager (for
both jconsole and jhs). Everything else (GTK,IDEs,...) would be JAL addons.
I think using browsers to provide the core, portable GUI JFE has merit.

Discussion should move to the Beta forum.
