[KLUG Members] Using WINE with Java

[Anthony Mattas]

If the app is Java, you should not need to use wine at all, make sure you 
have JRE6 installed in Suse, and the the Window Manager supports Java.

I know on gentoo this is achieved through USE flags, but Ithink suse 
should handle it pretty much automatically.
