Hi, Ian. (BTW, yes, you found the right irc channel, but you left before
I had a chance to respond.)

Well, the project is about providing GNOME bindings in Java, which you
could use to augment a pre-existing Java app or write a new one. I think
we're all pretty agnostic on that front.

As you may have surmised by now, Java-Gnome still isn't quite ready for
prime time. However, a few people are developing with it, and, if you can
endure the pain of a nebulously-changing codebase for a while, then by all
means please give it a whirl. If there are particular APIs that you need
that are missing, then please don't hesitate to let us know. Hopefully,
it'll just be a matter of adding a few more declarations to the .defs
files.

Take care,
