As far as I know there won't be new releases for the libgtk-java 2.4.x
branch or lib{gnome,glade,gconf}-java 2.8.x branch. So, be aware that no
bug-fixes will be made available for those branches.

So, if you have a choice, my advice is to use libgtk-java 2.6.2 and
lib{gnome,glade,gconf}-java 2.10.1 (or later releases when they become
available).
