Novell on JAVA ... Another possible area where Novell may collaborate with AOL/Netscape/Sun is in Java, a technology upon which Schmidt is still very bullish. While Novell has not gone so far as to require its developers to code all future products in Java--as some Novell partners have said was the case--Java is definitely on the front burner. Novell's forthcoming e-commerce framework will be written in Java; its DigitalMe digital persona products were done in Java; and almost all of its management tools are being developed in Java. "Java should be used where appropriate," says Schmidt. "At the kernel and for low-level libraries, we're still C-based. Java, in our case, runs right on the metal. It doesn't have an OS behind it. That's why it's so fast." Message 8475674
