#1 I don't know java.
#2 We want to write a GUI FB Manager product that
is cross platform.
#3 It will be open source, so we need to use open
source libraries.
#4 Are you saying GDS_Impl.java will give us
the ability to call API functions?
#5 Does it exist yet? If not when?
#6 Are you saying that if 2 API calls are missing
that we need, there won't be any way to add them?

#7 Should we rule out Java and go with C++ and a
cross platform library? There seems to be a C++
library that has a conciderable amount of the
API wrapped.

Thanks for your help!
