FYI, http://java.sun.com 

I have found that 'clones' of the JDK [such as blackdown.org's Java
port] don't handle keylisteners overly nicely :((

VJ++ isn't very JDK compatible. So don't be suprised when it doesn't
work ;)

Continuing on what was mentioned about, ignore VJ++, it is a corruption
of the java language. Use JDK! Sun have release Java Workshop 3 for
free. I *purchased* JWS 2.0 and I love it to death. Now my only problem
is I don't use windows much anymore!
