It might be an idea to include some porting status information on the website. Right now it doesn't even mention whether a JDK port is underway. I know it is from reading this list, but it'd be nice if I could check the status now and then just by hitting a URL. This is going to be especially important since the license for JDK 1.2 sources doesn't allow you to release a version until it meets all the compatibility tests. So there will be a longer than usual delay before a release makes it out the door, and people are likely to get a bit antsy waiting for it. I know I will :-) A web page saying, "Keep waiting, we're working on it" would give me that warm fuzzy feeling. Justin PS: Great work!
