Thanks so much, this is really really great! We have had several
inquiries from people who wanted to use Laszlo with JRun, and we have
been too stupid (speaking for myself) or otherwise unable to figure it
out.
I added a link from the OpenLaszlo wiki to your blog entry, and I will
get back to you first thing Monday about getting your fixes into the
source base.
Best,
Oliver
