No, not at all - I'd love to lower the barrier to entry for Qt/KDE 
programming, so you wouldn't have to be a C++ wizard anymore, and can use 
java to write apps. So bug reports/feedback/programmng questions etc are most 
welcome from as many people as possible. I certainly hope QtJava/KDE 'Koala' 
java programming becomes popular!

You need to type 'make -f Makefile.cvs' with the cvs version to get a 
configure script. But the Sun JDK 1.3 should be fine - don't know why it 
crashes.

It should just need kdelibs installed, and Qt 3.0.1.
