It's still not super-simple. Azureus does currently run using GIJ, which I think is great (!), but it does not yet build using GCJ, which is a requirement of moving into main. For example, Azureus uses the package sun.misc.Signal, among others, that is not provided by libgcj. Since this package is clearly not required to run Azureus, there is the option of patching the source to remove this stuff -- I think Red Hat has some patches for Azureus that they use to build the RPM package. That is more work though, and it prevents people that are using Sun's JRE from benefitting from these additional classes. So, I'll look into the situation, and see what I come up with. Cheers, Shaun
