IcedTea6 1.2 Released!

[Guido Kämper]

wow. very cool :-)

Thanks for trying, i'm really looking forward to downloading the  
nightly builds:)

It sounds interesting to use virtual instruments from Java, that  
should be possible then, isn't it? I am not very involved in this  
project yet, i just saw the specifications and source parts of the gnu  
classpath till now - and the information that it is not yet included.

cu,
Guido
