I just wanted to add, I have heard of efforts to bring java development
environments over to Linux as a separate product .. stuff like Borland's
J++Builder and stuff like that. I dont recall if Borland was actually
going to do it, (I think they rumoured it). Anyway, undoubtedly a GUI Java
Dev environment would be ideal for many people, especially an open source
one. I agree with Mike on the speed issue -- as far as a tight
object-pascal compiler, it just seems like un-neccessary overhead.
Unfortunately, due to my job's demands I do not have the time to
participate in the development process of this project -- however I do like
to throw in my 2 cents every once in a while :)
