I'm running (current) snapshot of GGI (reccommend going with snapshots
here for those not following GGI development)
Anyways, if anyone's interested I should have an operational "java"
replacement for GGI sometime soon.
I'm just working on getting some substitute components working + basic
fonts and images. Events was fun :)
I -can't- release any source yet because as a bit of a workaround while I
was busy trying to decide how to implement code pieces I substituted some
Java-1.2 source bits in. These -will- be removed before anything is
released!
It's C++ in case that bothers anyone. I'm also messing about with making
it both Java-1.1 and Java-1.2 complient (I -really- like Java 1.2 - it's
just not operational under Linux yet *sigh*)
If anyone else out there has attacked this PLEASE let me know! I wouldn't
mind comparing notes...
G'day, eh? :)

PS: *le really deep sigh*. If Java-1.2 -were- operational under Linux,
this whole project would be done by now!
