It does not work on Windows. This defeats the purp= ose of Java of being cross-platform. You might say that Windows has Oracle'= s Java, but it is not GPLed. It cannot be redistributed or bundled with an = app. It is huge and copyrighted. When you install it, it tries to screw you= over by installing the Ask Toolbar. These are problems that GCJ does not h= ave. Just came across this which may address some of these concerns: http://www.azulsystems.com/products/zulu --=20 Guillermo Rodriguez Garcia guille.rodriguez@gmail.com
