Well, I have got it working enough to run a java binary, the problem is
that a ps list doesn't show the binary name, only the program arguements
with a (java) at the end of it. I also have to fix it up to strip the
".class" from when you run a java class (I left that till last, I might
even do it before I goto bed tonight), and when its in a useable state
I'll give it to people to play with and find holes.:)

Cya.
