Oh, I don't know use Netscape and do a net search on Java and Linux
I am sure that you will find something.

Not sure if the linux stuff would be that useful and the last
time I looked around Java was still a mess. 

if we have started doing something similar to java but with guild we
would have been done. The argument back then against guild was about the 
huge number of Java applets, the GNU license and the lack of "features".
