Absolutely, Java SE would be great to have on the Neo. That's the
power of the concept ... whatever you need on the Neo - just install
it and be happy ;-)

A challenge will be to ensure the Java ME or SE ports are continuously
maintained between OE and the phoneME project.

PS: phoneME is pronounced "fone-me", for phone and Java ME).
