Actually, it's no longer Java. Rather it's using the FOX-library, which is 
cross-platform, mean and lean, but also lacking some higher-level widgets 
such as an HTML-viewer or RTF-editor.

Note that obversive is currently on ice, as the developers don't have much 
time to work on it. It's not yet dead and burried, however.
