Just to keep you up to date the java-gnome bindings do now build
under GNOME 2. They are far from complete but are getting closer
every day.
What doesn't work
* The signal mechanism isn't working properly. Should have this
fixed in the next day or two.
* Not all of the new widgets have been added at this time.
* The examples and documentation haven't been updated
What has been added
* Much of the Pango bindings are complete
* The beginning of ATK support
* Wrappers for many of the glib types
* Some of the new classes
I am currently working my way through the GTK libraries. By the
end of this week I hope to have the GTK bindings synched with
GTK 2 and the signals working.
