Hello,

These two topics keep coming up, typically as off list (other irc or 
other mailing list).  Here's the standard answer.

Q #1: Can frysk be built with a Free Java 1.5 compiler?

Since Fedora Core 7 will ship with Java 1.5, frysk will be built with that.


Q #2: Can frysk use Java 1.5 features?

No, not yet.  The main problem is that no current distros include the 
Free Java 1.5 compiler.  Once that situation improves frysk can switch.


Q #3: When will frysk switch to Java-GNOME 4.0?

The intent is to first adopt Java 1.5 and then adopt Java-GNOME 4.0.  
That should give the new Java-GNOME bindings ample time to settle.
