I've ponds of questions ?

What Java API does it use ?
Is it a full implementation of Java 2 SE?
Does it support JMF ?
Are there some unsupported APIs ?

How does the developing process go, can I just compile a class on my mac and
use it in Zarus ?

Is java all you can code on for it, I mean to say when sound, video or
images concerned, java is not going very far , audio is implemented quite
poorly, graphics is a bit half-witted and all that ?

Cheers, Denis
