Well, far more important than anything else is to give thanks that
you're feeling better, and to welcome you back to our humble little
community.

No, it's not really the sort of mailing list you catch up on. I do tend
to refer people to specific messages from time to time, but much of the
traffic is problem solving, and, of course, we often switch to IRC and
or direct email.

Certainly, though, do have a read of the NEWS file. Based on the last
email you sent along, it really has been a year. So that puts you at
roughly release 4.0.3, which you can read here:

http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/4.0/NEWS.html#4.0.3

then on with:

http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/4.0/NEWS.html#4.0.4
http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/4.0/NEWS.html#4.0.5
http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/4.0/NEWS.html#4.0.6
http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/4.0/NEWS.html#4.0.7

that should bring you up to date with what has been going on broadly.
And just as importantly, check out the AUTHORS file: we really have had
awesome growth in people interested in the project:
http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/4.0/AUTHORS.html

You might also have a glance at the code at:
http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/4.0/doc/examples/START.html

I have been working on it quietly, though I keep getting distracted by
more important things - like trying to find someone to fund my work on
all this great and wonderful stuff.

[Frankly, I need to do a conference presentation on the topic of Java
launching - it is getting to be too much material to write in a single
email.

It's also somewhat off-topic for this list, as java-gnome is but one
user of the thing. But we can discuss it here if others are also
interested in the problem of configuring Java programs to run on Linux
and Unix systems]

Again, it's great to hear from you.
