I found out a compatibility hack that might let it work, I'm downloading, but I
need one more question answered: I found a set of 3 java ports I wanted
(eclipse, poseidon, and simplicity), and it sure makes me worry, what with
eclipse and simplicity seemingly each wanting precisely it;'s own version of
Java, it almost seems like you'd need to have ALL of the java's installed in
order to run even a few Java ports, correct?  I sure hope I'm wrong.

Anyhow, I'm going to try experimenting, but I need a good definition of what a
couple of standard Java variables are, like JAVA_HOME, or CLASSPATH (is that one
still in common use?) and JDK_HOME or JRE_HOME?

I'm going to experiment with all 3 of those ports, so I want to get the
JAVA_HOME *exactly* right, so I don't accidentally blame the java, when it's
really my wrong settings of variables.  I last programmed in Java about 10 years
ago, so I know most of the internals, but I have either forgotten the JAVA_HOME
or I never knew it too well to begin with.
