You didn't reply to the questions in my previous mail. There's a reason
I asked them. So here they are again:

===
I guess this is breaking compatibility with older versions? If yes, we
need to advertize this.

Also, is API stable in those releases, or is it still in development?
Last time I asked, I was told the status of the new java-gnome was
beta.
===

The reason I'm worred is that I don't know if API will be broken between
4.0.x and 4.2.0.

Also, there's a real communication problem here: I asked about the very
same thing at the beginning of 2007 and got told that 4.0.x was a
development version and that there'd be a stable version to include in
GNOME. See
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/release-team/2007-January/msg00017.html
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/release-team/2007-March/msg00192.html

It's important to let the release team know about how things are going.
