Congratulations!  I know that a bunch of folks worked very hard to
make this happen.

FWIW -- I've been using Anthony's earlier jamvm-based plugin on my
laptop.  I use it almost daily (always with the same applet :-), it
has been quite nice.

I wanted to follow up the earlier conversation about FC6 gcj -- the
ecj work really was not ready on time, we missed it.  It was all we
could do to get this big backport in place.  That is pretty
disappointing... but FC7 will have an enormous upgrade.
