Me too, I've got it working locally, but with some quirks in the
NewCrontab window...
I've managed to complete it but since I'd like to rewrite the above
window to make it cleaner, I don't know if it is worth to resolve this
quirks, or it's better to begin the rewrite of that class.
I want to make a window with a calendar widget and a combo.
The user should choose the initial date with the nifty calendar widget
(the one you see in newer gnome-clock applets) and then should choose
with the combo, if he wants the command to be executed: hourly, daily,
monthly... Then would be good to add the possibility to choose the
command to run from a list of installed programs. It has to be based on
myme-types.
This list must contains the programs' icons.
Cromagnon must add the --display $DISPLAY command line option(to each
crontab entry) which actually is needed for X based programs to run.
There are other things. If you think it can be useful, I'll write a nice
todo list for CroMagnon. New contributors could pick one item and help
on that item.

I've wrote down the very first Main methods for java-gnome-demo.
The point is: I'd prefer do one thing (well) at a time, so if you think
that the project will earn more benefit from a good functional app like
Cromagnon, I think I'll leave java-gnome-demo for later and I'll work on
Cromagnon. Else if it's better to have a functional demo for java-gnome,
I'll do otherwise ;)
Let me know what you think, please :)

Totally agreed.
Do the forums on Sun's site know of java-gnome?

I think we can do without UIInfo.end()

On my side I can work on Cromagnon and java-gnome-demo, and I can do
packages for Redhat.
