Indeed, they have been writing operating systems, graphics handlers and so on for years. I searched their Web site for clues as to whether they have a Java Tools section of their own but I couldn't find any specific information either way. Now, what about the Java programmers I know? The don't develop their code on Unix boxes; instead, they develop their code on Wintel boxes. The tools they use are JBuilder (Borland) and Visual Case (Symantech??). Is Sun going to acquire one or more? I do not know. Jack
