They are also really committed to 'Pure Java' so don't discount them. The majority of HP is committed to 'Pure Java', but the group making Chai is committed to fragmenting Java and wresting control from Sun. Also agreed that Sun hasn't delivered some of its Java performance technology (Hotspot is still nowhere to be seen) and Java 2 (jdk 1.2) is even bigger and slower than previous Java's, so pushing the need for performance enhancers harder. Early versions of Hotspot have been released to developers. Java 2 is absolutely faster than previous versions (much better JIT included). Bill
