Hi,
As a Kaffe protagonist, I was recently asked by EarthWeb for an article about
Linux & Java, and I don't want to restrict this on kaffe and to "deliberately
ignore" other Java projects. Classpath certainly has to be mentioned, and I
therefore would like to ask a few questions:
(1) Any objections that I include Classpath? Seems to be a silly questions,
but since kaffe has its own class libs, many expect us to show rivalry. Given
the common threat of a proprietarized Java, this is IMHO nonsense, and there
is no reason why OpenSource shouldn't raise above it.
(2) How do you cope with the 1.2 API inflation? Especially with respect to the
AWT and all its extensions (since this is my native branch, as you might
know)? How do you feel about the API specs in general, and the AWT
specifications in particular (suitable for a standard, testability)?
(3) How do you expect Suns "community license" to affect your contributors
(more, less, not relevant)?
(4) anything you would like me to mention (people, needs, plans, future
releases, other projects, ..)?
Thanks for any infos
