This is a good test, indeed, for it involves quite a few things:
a) web plugin (anyone willing to test gcjwebplugin? it *should* work)
b) Swing/AWT (have not checked which and how advanced)
c) sound API (so we need to integrate Trintonous first)
d) Java verifier (a must, so that we didn't open a security hole by
running plugins that might be malicious)

I think it will be quite nice a milestone when we're able to run it,
but OTOH it really looks like a reachable goal, some months from now.

Thanks and cheers,
