If 1.1 then maybe kaffe or gcj will be an improvement over sun's jdk. Just for fun I decided to start up a couple of (non-trivial) java programs I have that use Swing/AWT.

-D (what a fitting sig :-). it really is randomly chosen by a script) -- How to shoot yourself in the foot with Java: You find that Microsoft and Sun have released incompatible class libraries both implementing Gun objects.
