I have just tried to run processing apps on cacao + classpath-gtk.
It's a kind of slow in running and loading, and I wonder what we can
do about that.  I haven't touched java for quite a while.  At the
moment I can only describe some rough ideas:

* We want to put in as many java support as possible

* We want to polish it and make it run smoothly on OM and neo, if
  possible.

Could you suggest:

* What extra packages can we make available for OM?

* How can we help to enhance the performance on neo? (How much can we
  do?  Floating point calculation is constrained by arm.)

We are working on xglamo for gta02.  I believe gtk will get
performance gain after we're done.

I think the final version of gta02 hardware will be ready soon.  If
you need it for tweaking I believe we can arrage it.
