When something is developed against the GNU Classpath libraries it will likely work, but random swing code will probably still show some bugs against Free Swing. GNU Classpath Examples has some nice Free Swing Demos that show what works (is this packaged for Debian?) There is a Free Swing Test Apps page at: http://developer.classpath.org/mediation/FreeSwingTestApps And there will be a presentation on Free Swing by Roman Kennke at the GNU Classpath & Friends meeting during Fosdem next month: http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/events/fosdem06.html > > - JBoss 4.03SP1 or higher > > Don't know, will be difficult.

I did get JBoss up and running a while ago, but I haven't looked at it recently: http://gnu.wildebeest.org/diary/index.php?p=126 Cheers, Mark -- Escape the Java Trap with GNU Classpath! http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/java-trap.html Join the community at http://planet.classpath.org/
