Re: Bug#475669: Suggest informing the user
Hi Adam,
My preference would be to fix the bug, of course! But with the bug
being 180 days old now, it might be time to look at a workaround like
this. Do you know, does Azureus work with any other versions of GIJ? I
know that it works with Sun's VM.
Cheers,
Shaun
