Yeah I should have looked at the website first.  I'll just have to find 
something else :)

I was thinking that because most desktop Java programs are within 
categories that don't scream java ( ie dev-java vs net-im ) we should 
create a 'Featured Java Program' of the month.  This will not only get 
ppl using the packages (and also hopefully helping to test them) but 
hopefully contributing to this project (hopefully).
