Hurray! I also saw your screenshot on the Planet.
(http://classpath.wildebeest.org/planet/)
It really brought a smile on my face this morning!
I assume this is from your jhbuild that you are also promoting for
building java-gnome? http://spindazzle.org/java-gnome/

And I assume you are using my line-number patch?
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/java-patches/2004-q2/msg00411.html
(Note that the failure mentioned in that email was not because of this
patch. Bryce fixed the real issue already on gcj HEAD.)
The only important part of that patch is the interpret.cc compile fix.

We really should get all these patches into CVS ASAP.
Or setup a new jhbuild and/or merge with one of of the jhbuilds to
include all these things.

Cheers,

Mark
