There's already a program called "Zounds" that can do
similar things. But ...

... Zounds is in Python and needs the newest GTK+/GTK2 and
whatnot for the GUI. There are no updates of these libs
available anymore for FC2!! The latest you can get is GTK
2.4.x, the program needs 2.6.x. I haven't tried builidng
from source yet, because it never works when I try to
compile something. There's always something missing,
outdated without any updates available or just installed at
a place my system thinks is right but the ./config does
not. Recently, I tried to compile a program that needed
GTK+-2.0 >= v2.4, and all I had was GTK2 v2.4. The program
didn't understand that these are the same libs (at least I
believe). It's a mess.

But Java works fine. So ...
