Sun provided the JDK free ... all that is needed to construct Java applications and applets. Also, from my own experience Sunsoft Java Workshop is an excellent project manager/debugging environment. Tools/compilers/beans are all rolling out now all over the place. For Corel I think their mistake was betting the entire company on a language that was barely a thousand days old and still in a high state of fluctuation. As of JDK 1.1 I can say, as a C, C++ and now Java developer, there is _no_ other language out there that can compete with Java. It is OO by design, has threads support integrated into the language, and with the JFC has a powerful GUI component. Just a matter of time but Java will be the language developers migrate too. Java compilers wil solve the runtime speed issue.

And there's not a damn thing Corel can do about it. Java App Tools Will Become More Robust techweb.cmp.com Industry analysts and many early adopters of the Java programming language believe that 1998 will be a watershed for the deployment of enterprise Java applications. --- Well what will the master of deceptions excuss be in 1998? I would not be caught holding SUNW. Sunw makes most of its money selling high power scalable reliable computers. Remember Suns motto -> the network is the computer and you need a high power reliable scalable computer to pull this off. Java is just part of the puzzle to make the network the computer the dominate product in the future. Sun doesn't need Java to make money but Java will give Sun the future growth. I have heard that the Java development progression is farther ahead when compared to windows when it was first released. As far as I can tell Sun has always pushed this idea but on the other hand the master of deception jumps around like a Mexician jumping bean when trying to figure Corels future direction. He hasn't delievered on many of his promises so how in the world will the market push the share price up. Now you tell me which company would you want to own now. If Corel can deliever some of its promises than maybe I'll change my mind or else the master of deception gets the boot. I would like to see the master of deception booted out to restore Corel's credibility which I think is at a all time low. JMHO Mike
