Allen, INTS licensed its Java technology from a company out of Iowa called NewMonics. However, the reasons weren't only cost. The JVM (Java Virtual Machine) coming out of Sun simply isn't appropriate for use in hard realtime systems. The problem is that the garbage collector in Sun's JVM can kick in at anytime. The results is that Java applications can't execute determintisitic under the SUN JVM. For more information on this issue, check out newmonics.com. Besides NewMonics, I know of at least three other companies doing realtime versions of Java. Another small point--the JavaOS can run standalone and does not require an RTOS. I see it as direct competition to an RTOS, not a complementary product. The JavaOS duplicates a great deal of functionality already in an RTOS. I expect most RTOS vendors to go the JVM route, and not use the JavaOS. Here is a quick example of the competition issue. The JavaOS comes with its own built-in TCP/IP stack. Since it comes for "free" with JavaOS, why would a customer want to use the one that comes with the RTOS that probably requires extra license fees? Richard
