I aggree that a Windows binary with Java MapScript would be a great
addition and can increase the usage of Java MapScript within the community.
I also aggree that building on windows is a challenge. We worked with
MinGW for quite some time but had no success in building everthing we
needed. Some things worked, some not. We didn't gave up yet so maybe
sometime we get it done and we would be happy to share it with
erverybody who is interested. But in order to say it clearly if anybody
has a working Java Mapscript library for windows we would have a serious
celebration about it.

best regards
Oliver
