Is WebJDK a reality?

Hy,

I've long kept an eye on Caciocavallo and last time I checked html5 canvas rendering was just a prototype.

Now it seems we have 1.1 since May and 1.2 is also in the official Maven repo.

I'll prepare a Linux machine to try and build it (as I have OSX and it's probably an uphill battle).

In the mean-time, I have two questions about Caciocavallo-Web:

* has it been tested with large apps, for example, NetBeans?

* why does the README keep talking about png-compression? Is that used for images themselves, or for everything? I mean, is the canvas used like an actual drawable area or it's more like a VNC screen displaying what's on the server 'virtual' display.
