Now I am not sure exactly what all that means :-), but are you denying that is a valid criticism ? If you are implying that it might be in the next("3.0") release...then the criticism holds :-) I have also heard that Microsoft support for developers as one of their strengths and Sun needs to compete with them on all fronts including doing analysis of competetive products on the market. Sun can market its differentiators and strengths, but should pay attention to strengths of the competition too.
