Speaking from ignorance, I'm not enthusiastic about a java requirement but can be convinced otherwise. (1) Can we realy distribute it now (since it is not yet GPL'd)? (2) is it really fast? I have found that java is annoyingly slow. In fact, I usually block java (for security reasons, among others) on my browsers. (3) Is it really cross-platform? From Debian to FreeBSD to Mac OSX to windows?
