That's one of the problems. Another is the lack of build integration and the 
third is that qtjava/kdejava is still jni based which is slow and 
inconvenient compared to cni. But if the technical problems were resolved, I 
wouldn't hesitate in accepting, say, a plugin for Krita done in a java-like 
language compatible with gcj.
