A: "Not Java" <g> --- Look, you must appreciate that there is more to this than issues between Sun and any one group of interests. Putting together something like this between dispirate parties must be phenomenally complex. After watching Sun studder early with Java, as a shareholder, I'm pretty pleased with what's been hammered out with J2EE. Sun's first responsibility is to it's shareholders. IBM, believe it or not, comes after that. --- There is more than one community. There's even more than one ISV community. I don't know that the ISV sentiment you report is current or even then, prevelant. I wouldn't think so. JavaOne is this week and according to the positioning which is all coming down not about coding but about BRANDING, I'd say things couldn't be much better. --- Let's watch JavaOne errupt or not errupt into discord this week rudedog, and *then lets revisit all of this. -JCJ
