note that, unlike TclTk or wxPython, Java GUIs introduce a dependency
to proprietary elements. Currently, it is possible to run GRASS
on a complete Free Software desktop - I wouldn't like
to see a too strong link to Java (right now).
The Java ClassPath project apparently does not receive enough manpower
to reimplement the GUI libraries as Free Software.
If you are running Debian unstable you can try apt-get install free-java
to see whats currently possible in Java using a Free Software Java
framework.
