Re: tn5250j on Linux with Java 1.5.0

We should probably tidy it all up.  There are 32 open bugs that go all 
the way back to 2002.  Kenneth is the Admin so I think only he can 
"close" them.  If we could figure out what is still "open" we might be 
able to assign a few to each of the programmers on the list to get them 
fixed.

It would be nice to finish the project with a nice clean release.  We 
are at the .6 release level so I am not sure of what all is still 
missing that would make this a 1.0 release.

I wish Kenneth would check in so we'd know what is up with him. Hope he 
is OK.
