SWT
- installed the latest Ubuntu 10.04 beta
   - initial testing indicates that swt/eclipse are working here similar to on Ubuntu 9.10
- WebKitGTK+ implementation of Browser is ready for use
   - as of the latest nightly build the minimum required WebKitGTK+ version is 1.1.90, which the Ubuntu 10.04 beta has
   - instructions to use it: (note: will make this info available in a more visible public place)
      - add "Device.DEBUG = true" before instantiating first Browser, so native browser version will be printed to stdout
      - set java property "org.eclipse.swt.browser.UseWebKitGTK" to "true"
      - create the Browser with style SWT.NONE
- accessibility work continues
   - have acquired new versions of WindowEyes, Supernova and NVDA to help with IA2 testing
- CSS engine work for e4's M5 release last week
- added @noreference annotations to public-visibility non-API fields/methods (all of these had loud pre-existing "this is not API" javadoc)
