Hi Pedro !
Am not sure, if I already wrote a reply ... Or if it went to
/dev/null.
Would it be possible, to build an Amaya port without that Java
version, first ? Only to get this beast running ?
A build option could later include Java on demand ?! Everybody
is talking about amaya on Linux and Win95 and we don't have
even a port ;-)
Therefore I asked if someone could take the time ;-)
