[Wtr-general] Java port of watir

[Jake Dempsey]

I agree.  This is why we wanted watij to follow the same (roughly) api as
watir.  We actually are porting all of the unit tests as well so that we can
gauge our progress. To this point we have ported well over 100 tests from
the watir unittest library.  We have downloaded the latest from watir so
that we can port the latest and greatest.  The prepackaged Beanshell is also
cool.  If you have java 1.5 installed, you can have watij up and running in
< 3 mins.

Check it out at http://watij.xwiki.com. Again, feedback is greatly welcomed.
