Hardly, I'm running out of time, and will try to get back later, but in your previous post you said, "Oracle is betting on ORACLE'S Java, by the way, not anyone else's. " You seem to have changed your tone in the post I'm responding to. You'd like to see JAVA standards as open. I agree. It has to be otherwise nobody will use it, IMO. And ORACLE is not going to write all the JAVA applications needed for it. ALSO: >>So it's true that Oracle is betting heavily (although not exclusively) on Java, but it's also true that this bet will win.<< Well, what if the bet doesn't work out? Does Oracle have a back door? Or a Plan B? Java still has a ways to go, it seems to me, to be accepted by most of the software community. joe joe
