It is almost always easier to "code and commit" than to explain.
However, that doesn't always produce the best results...

Well, certainly many people will be excited to see more progress
happening in the freebsd-java world.  I just hope that when you're
done, you won't be hit by a lot of requests for things which would
have been easier to handle now.

Me, I really *am* happy to see things happening on the java front,
so I don't want to sound like I'm complaining about anything.  It's
just that I also suspect it would be better to hear a bit more about
what you hope to do before you have spent the effort to do it.
