I test my app regulary against this. It's still a long way to go (at least 1/2 year I would guess). > Also, what is the status of the package? the package hasn't changed since may. I have concentrated my work on GNU Classpath. For the app: I am in a major rewrite/extension of the application for two things: 1. get rid of patented stuff (hyperbolic tree) 2. add features besides visualization, like knowledge management support etc. Cheers, Roman
