  Sorry that you had problems with the comment system.  I actually support
two different comment systems, and no matter what, people complain.  One
uses Disqus which is a shared comment system and defaults to funky
JavaScript, which some people dislike.  The other is standard Drupal
comments, but I require registration.  Can't please everyone.

Anyway, thanks for the comments.  Others have commented on ways to to
automate the 90 day replacement of the Sun Java, concerns about AWT/Swing
appearing in italicson the OpenJDK version etc.  I'm interesting in hearing
more about people's experiences with MicroEmulator.  I haven't tried that
yet.

However, the thing that seems to have gotten a lot of resonance is that
while all of this is probably fine for developers, it really isn't great for
end users and not having Java easily installable on the N900 seems to
relegate it to the realms of a nice developers toy, but limits its potential
in the smartphone market, which is really unfortunate.
