Interesting project. :)

The eclipse .classpath file has hardcoded paths to their location in
your machine. You may want to change this to relative paths.

I was able to run the client, but it failed to connect to the daemon. I
am not sure what I did wrong, but I tried to pass DeskCrawlerDaemon
class to jsvc and the jar file too, and both times, jsvc would just
silently return.

I know that this Makefile is just to get things going, but it is missing
the pkg-config flags for gtk2-java. gcc also complained about c++ style
comments. There's also the fact that the location of the jdk is
hardcoded, but I assume that you are aware of that and plan to change it
in the future.

Keep up the good work. :)
