please stop this nonesense. And I don't mean what you are talking about. Learn to thread. Seriously. Your emails popping up everywhere, instead of one, nice thread. If you are using a broken mail client, get another one. If it is your own fault: stop it. I don't give a shit about java or whatever you are talking about. But I am so fed up with seeing your emails everywhere. Threading. Keeps people sane.
