Re: [pygame] java pygame

Webstart does support native libraries (it didn't initially), but that means
the user is prompted for security settings etc. which is a step I want to
avoid. Of course, this is me, who is targeting naive users, who just want to
click and play.
I am starting to think of Java as a 'platform' in the same way as Windows,
OSX, linux etc. Now if I could only find an open source sound mixer for java
1.1 VMs ....
