I'm happy to work on either version of KDevelop 3.0, but I agree getting
something which works and then improving it, is more likely to get the project
moving. I'm trying to get the KDE Java bindings ready for KDE 2.2, and I'm keen
to have an IDE to go with them in order to try and make KDE/Qt java programming
popular. 

If I manage to do a java patch for KDevelop 2.0, would it be possible
to have a 'KDevelop extras' directory for patches like that? I don't mind it
not going into the 2.0 CVS, because C++ stability should be the most important
thing for release 2.0 as per the roadmap.
