Much thanks and appreciation to the Gentoo java Team for their work on 1.5.

I am in no rush to see 1.6, but as a developer I am just curious to
know how you feel about the design and implementation decisions you
made for 1.5.  Do you feel it will facilitate the release of 1.6
quicker and easier for your guys or do you expect a smaller but
similar amount of work to do before it can be released for Gentoo
users?
