Will gcj support PyLucene these days? If so, you're fine. If not, the Java-ignorant folks you're postulating will be receiving a package that will be broken more often than not, and will have a hard time understanding why that's the case. Wouldn't you rather have something that works more often than not? Maybe the state of Java-on-Linux is quite different by now. I worked all this out a couple of years ago, when all my Linux users kept tripping over the default Java being gcj. Bill
