Hm... looks REALLY cool.

I wonder what the issue is here?  I mean a "Research" virtual machine is cool
and all but a lot of us need to do Real Work (TM) and need a solid and Free,
Open Source JVM.

I want to figure out how usable this thing is.  I mean if we could make this the
default VM within Debian that would be *great* and it would solve a *lot* of
issues.
