I have been building and experimenting with Java stuff on my PowerBook G4, but more out of curiosity than out of need. If testing is the obstacle that prevents continued support then I can volunteer to help out with that. But I don't need it, and if it makes life easier for you, I think dropping it is fine. Maybe also post an announcement in the forums. Best regards, Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn
