Indeed --- looks like we can tick that one off. But recall that the thread
started with Egon wondering about JChemPaint and Jmol [ and Egon said in
private mail that these need Swing :-/ ], and that I had said that I'd like
to add JGR [ which needs Sun's 1.5 :-/ ].
Moreover, folks have long suggested [1] that Quantian ought to add
ImageJ (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij)
and more recently
Weka (http://www.cs.waikato.ac.nz/ml/weka)
GridWeka (http://smi.ucd.ie/~rinat/weka/)
Does anybody know if these could run under free Java stacks? I suspect they
don't so Quantian will probably have to continue to ship with non-free Java.
