Webconverger is a locked down Debian, that only allows access to a Web browser. Conceivably the Java testing app could be deployed through the browser via their Java browser plugin.
By default Webconverger does not ship with Java, though you can order a customised version from http://webconverger.com/buy with it included.
If you can't live without a good browser and some games then like me you need to run something like Win2k.
What I have done is set up another box in my home lan with RH7 and run eXceed on my Win2k "Desktop" Machine.
Samba is a little difficult at first with win2k, and win2k Internet Sharing is actually quite good, hence i've made it the internet gateway.
It works really well and EASILY, I export my Display to my Win2k box running exceed from my linux box, e.g.
export DISPLAY=192.168.0.51:0
and run something like: emacs &
This is the best way to get the best from both OSes.
the peeps who really make the money is the government. i think it's really upto the government and their taxes to turn the tables. except they probably have some nice deal with the middle east or sumfin'. went to war over it, didn't they?

Today Webconverger released with an HTML5 video enabled build today: http://webconverger.org/blog/entry/5.7_with_Firefox_3.5/
The plan is once HTML5 video becomes prevalent, the integrated proprietary flash player will be dropped. http://webconverger.org/adobe/

DWM is a "new" lightweight Window Manager.
Write a Web game application and ensure it works smoothly in the Android browser. i.e. Tweaking the CSS for bigger buttons etc. etc.
BONUS: Should work on the Iphone too and any Web browser ... yowsers!
I think the most compelling games platform is the Web. Someone needs to write a cool simple game like BRE or Planetarium. =)
this is not new. i've accidently(hehe) done this with several window managers including KDE!
just exported the the display to my win2k machine running exceed for NT and for Gnome run gnome-session as far as i recall!
Damn, i loved that door game BRE. Barren Realms Elite, anyone else used to play it ?
There is planetarion nowadays, but it just didn't seem to "cut it" like BRE used to.
and also Usurpers, Vgaplanets... *sniff* major bbs...
I am working on a social sciences report sadly titled "The social impact of legalisation of software patents within the European Union".
It isn't finished, however I would appreciate comments, and I hope you can find it enjoyable in some way.
Oh here is is.
