Thanks, it worked :)

If you want to test impulse maneuver support, I've published a new
snapshot with it :
https://www.orekit.org/forge/attachments/download/57/orekit-20110811.apk

Also, the date selector now automatically fills the fields with the
current date in the UTC time zone if no date was selected, meaning you
can fill the forms faster -- before, no time zone conversion was made
and the time scale was left unset. (I also added a Vector3D widget,
which is basically the conversion of the x/y/z entry seen in the Frame
conversion part (when it requests a position & velocity) in a
standalone widget so I could re-use it in the Impulse maneuver part,
but that's unnoticeable when you use the application)
