   So far it seems to work for me, but it doesn't make that demo java2 thing 
work because I am using an older jdk anyways.  I have enough trouble getting 
java to work so I don't want to risk upgrading right now.  I think you should 
go for this approach though.  It seems like the right thing to me.
