How hard would it be to support Java?

[Dan Kegel]

Quite a few apps use embedded JVM's.
Case in point: SPSS, one of the apps requested by Munich.

So I played around a bit with Sun's latest 1.5 JRE.
It can run trivial apps, so I closed
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2953
(ok, maybe that was premature, since the bug was for Sun's 1.4 JRE).

But it can't run applets; first, it runs into a nasty glx error,
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4143

Once you patch your way past that, it complains about not finding
a native method, see
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4873

And it doesn't show up in Firefox's about:plugins by default, see
http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4860

Can anyone shed some light on these, especially bug 4143?
Thanks,
Dan
