Java web browser

As Ewout is going fast on the gui part, I was thinking of looking for a web browser. It's not a importment featur, but it could be a nice thing. So far I found Jazilla (http://sourceforge.net/projects/jazilla/) and have downloaded it for test on windows later this afternoon (I hope). If it looks fine I'll try making it run in JNode, just as a start, if we find a better browser it can always be changed.

New GC support

I'm currenly trying to integrate MMTK (from JikesRVM) into JNode.
This is still not trivial, because of the differences in build policies between the two. JikesRVM is used to build using various template tools, preprocessors etc, while JNode uses a plain java build.

Also the MMTK requires some compiler magic, which means that it uses a few classes that are handled differently by the native code compiler. These classes are about raw memory access etc.

Anyway hope this will result in a better GC soon.

Website update

Today i'm updating the website to the latest drupal version.

This may cause some invalid pages, but it allows us many interesting new functions.
