Following the echoes of the discussion on J2EE in jakarta-general, I 
have been thinking a lot:

- we've got some free java VMs:
   - IBM has interesting stuff (with closed class libraries)
   - kaffe (I was able to run tomcat reasonably after patching a bit in 
C and a little bit more in java.lang) Putting Sun's swing classes in the 
path I was able to run some of Sun's jfc demos. Missing pieces are due 
to the minimalistic approach taken by the kaffe people, but they can be 
easily worked around.
   - kaffe is slow but takes soooo little memory... I wonder if it is 
suitable for production sites.
- I imagine someone out there (in the cold) is working in having a way 
to interpret C# in a java VM (maybe slightly extended). If not, this 
could make for an interesting jakarta project.
- There is definitely interest on having alternatives to RMI, EJB and 
other closed J2EE technologies in jakarta.
...

We could play some embrace and extend with Microsoft themselves ;)

P.S.) Just thinking high today. I fear reality will take care of my 
expectations soon. But here we've got a sunny february day :-)

P.P.S) Expert in debugging and micro-patching to make things work.
