Perhaps we need to make this more clear then. Java-gnome does build and run
perfectly with free tools. 

The only tools I know of which don't work with java-gnome are sablevm
(not enough jni support). Getting the latest releases of compilers/VMs
is always a good idea though. 

I don't think anybody has tried on windows, but it should be possible --
could you try for us perhaps?  We would be very interested in seeing the
results. I know a lot of people are interested to see java-gnome in
windows.
