    Are you talking about Jump?
    Who cares? I don't wanna pay for that.

    Surely enough - the time to port would be reduced. But here are a few
issues:

    * It will be more or less equivalent to deassembling the java code. Does
the license provide for that?
    * If the code is available, what license does it belong to? If it's
something like X11 / MIT License, ooh.. let's directly port it. No need to
worry about Jump.

(Oh damn, I forgot some more points. The office is keeping me busy. Will
write them as soon as I recall. ;-))
