I am willing, indeed happy to test for you; but I have no idea what you want 
us to do.  What does testing it involve?  Using it, of course; but I wouldn't 
know how to use it.  I know that many on this list are very knowledgeable and 
would know, but they may be too busy.  I can find time and would like to 
help: I do far too little for the community.  But I am also an ignoramus when 
it comes to the details of Java.  

Does "test" mean spending an uncomfortable amount of time on YouTube?? ;-)  I 
don't consciously use Java much, and would not know how to set about doing 
so - except by trying to create a booklist and index for a publication in 
OpenOffice.org.

I could, of course test to see if I get the same circular dependancy as Rob 
Owens.
