Well, even better than that. A LOT of the Java base classes
are and will be written by those same companies. That is why
those companies are so enthusiastic about it, part of it is
there own work. Example, the JFC due out soon is mostly from
Netscape and the audio classes will have been done by another
company (I don't know the name, I just know it was started
by a musician who hated the way PC audio was done).
