I didn't notice the initial request. Can one of you fill me in on
what Velosurf is?

Is it a webapp?

Hmmm... that looks like Classpath and ORP aren't setup properly. Can
you give a better bug report? Is that all you get? What is the
Classpath?

You can submit all those things to the Paperclips mailing list:

   address@hidden
or
   address@hidden

I think for development it's ok to use Blackdown Java. We obviously
prefer that people can use free tools and Classpath/ORP should work
(I haven't tried kaffe for ages though it's recently woken up again).

I'm in the process of making GNU Paperclips work on GCJ.
