OK - I wasn't quite sure what stage the development was at, so it didn't seem 
worth spending too much time on it. I was going to add java support and port 
the gideon java class parser, but that wouldn't be needed if it could run the 
gideon part 'as is'.

I think I'll use the KDE_2_2_BRANCH KDevelop patched for Objective-C for daily 
work. I might do a java patch for that in the 'KDevelop 1.x/2.x' style of 
doing things.
