I found the bug in javabind.c and fixed it in CVS.  x01 for java now gives
identical results to x01c regardless of whether single-precision or
double-precison is configured for the PLplot back end.  (I also
inadvertently changed back the CVS version of PLStream.c so it refers to the
single-precision library, but I will probably leave that as is until
Geoffrey fixes the configuration.)

So aside from that one configuration issue, I am happy with the java
frontend codebase we now have both for single and double precision.

To follow up on this nice achievement lead by Geoffrey, I will concentrate
on implementing x09, x12, x13, x15, x16, and x18 in that order.  Once
Geoffrey has done the additional API binding required by those examples, the
java front end will actually be better off than the current python front end
(which does not have the 15th example implemented yet and which currently
segfaults for the 9th example).
