I think this InfoWorld article has a clearer analysis of SUNW's real intent to control Java to not make it an open standard. I don't think they are fooling anyone except maybe the DOJ: "Sun's proprietary claims over all things Java might spell the end of its second bid to have the technology validated as a formal industry standard..." infoworld.com Most people building Java applications today probably think ECMA is a skin disease. I think you underestimate the intelligence and understanding of applications programers and end users who will REFUSE to be locked into a closed system. O/S2 flopped for Just this reason.
