[Pkg-grass-general] Re: [GRASS5] Re: [whinging about GRASS again]

JGrass is on my TODO list - after Jump and Deegree is packaged with
their dependencies.

JGrass has a lot of dependencies which are not yet in Debian. So it will
be a lot of work before one will actually see the JGrass package in Debian.

Hy Wolfgang,
from time to time I test JGrass with the Kaffe and SableVM, but it doesn't
work yet. There are some problems with JNI and openGL calls if I remember
right. I will soon do some test again and let you know. Hamish pointed me to
Classpath and Jikes, but I had no time to look into it now.
However, as you point out, there are a lot of other projects involved and that
will be a lot of work.
