Unlike most gtk/gnome ports, we're not trying to clone its interface to
java. We're trying to reproduce it in a nice Java style. For example in
text views we pass data blocks around rather than integers and other
things. The bits which will change are the bits which look ugly. For
example at the moment you have to add UIInfo.end() to the end of all
UIInfo arrays. That's something I want to fix.

There are a few bugs in text view. One of my aims for this summer was to
fix these and get a copy of the gtk-demo text view example running.
Unfortunately I've not had any time to do this.

I'm just one of the developers. I did a lot of work on the graphical
bits of the gtk widgets, before I knew much JNI. Then I moved on and
sorted out the treeview and started the textview and wrote CustomEvents.
I've written a very large application with java-gnome (bugwatcher - like
an email client, but for bugs) - this has helped find bugs in java-gnome. 
There are a few developers who contribute occasionally. Unfortunately
none of us have lots of time.
