Thank you. I'll let myself inspire from that :)

Actually, in the meantime I participated in GNU Classpath and did some
development for the missing bits. I test my app regulary against this.
It's still a long way to go (at least 1/2 year I would guess).

the package hasn't changed since may. I have concentrated my work on GNU
Classpath.
For the app: I am in a major rewrite/extension of the application for
two things:
1. get rid of patented stuff (hyperbolic tree)
2. add features besides visualization, like knowledge management support
etc.
