[self-interest] Fixing javaClient/javaServer for world sharing

[Russell Allen]

I've pulled the changes.

The Java client is fun. I agree that either a SDL2 backend (or just a HTML5 canvas or WebGL backend?) would be spiffy. X11 is clearly legacy for Linux at this point - everyone is coding to QT or GTK and Weyland/Mir are on the horizon...
