I got jstudio to install using java5, but had a lot of other issues on
Linux (of course, Sun only supports Red Hat linux at this point)...
I did install netbeans 5.5 (which uses the later java6 ... , but I can't
run either from the menu, since they cannot start the app server...  i'm
currently running netbeans from a commandline as root just so the app
server will launch to test application development... (lame)

I did manage to get the jdbc connection up and running, though, so i can
connect to mysql...

I also setup apache and tomcat 5.5 on my test box, but for some reason,
jstudio wouldn't even attempt to talk to it... i'll try netbeans later
today and see if that will work...
