hey Zhou,

this is great news. i really plan to follow up on this thread in a day
or so. i am currently way under prepared to deliver a presentation on
GWT tomorrow so i dont have time at the moment.

the one thing that i would like you and your community to consider is
what the _real_ value proposition of j2c is.

the tension that i personally experience with j2c is that i see a
great opportunity to address a void in gwt that will likely never be
addressed. but then i reconsider it and feel that it is orthogonal to
you and your communities goals.

i believe what you have engineered is fantastic, but is it solving the
right problem?

more on this later. i wanted to ping u back so that u didnt think i
lost interest in the thread.

best wishes
