The branch is KDE_3_3_BRANCH. I just haven't been able to build the thing 
because of automake/autoconf problems I just don't understand. In particular 
these lines in kdebindings/kdejava/koala/kdejava/Makefile.am:

libkdejava_la_LDFLAGS = $(all_libraries) -no-undefined -version-info 
$(SOMAJOR):$(SOMINOR):$(SOSUBMINOR)

libkdejava_la_LIBADD = 
$(top_builddir)/qtjava/javalib/qtjava/libqtjavasupport.la -lkmdi $(LIB_KHTML) 
$(LIB_KSPELL) $(LIB_KIO)

Why doesn't it include all the KDE libraries - is this right? Although the 
Makefile.am in the HEAD branch is just the same as in the KDE_3_3_BRANCH, one 
works for me and the other doesn't. I didn't add these lines, someone else 
did who probably understands what's going on better than me. Originally, it 
was a KDevelop project, and I just added the libs the project needed, but now 
this 'utter voodoo' has taken over, and I really don't understand it. I can't 
find any documentation on this sort of stuff, and am generally pissed off 
with trying to get it to work.

I get the feeling I probably screwed up the polish() fix, but because I can't 
even build the kdejava side, I can't fix it. At least if someone else could 
build and try it out that would confirm whether there was a problem or not.

Yes, please try building the KDE_3_3_BRANCH and see if you have the same 
problem. I hope you don't mind me cc'ing this to the kde-java list.. The 
project really needs someone other than myself to be able to sort out 
problems like this.
