Me too! Please download a copy of Harmony [1] and try running a Java application on it. If it works, let us know (a bit of developer stroking always helps <g>) but more importantly if it doesn't work also let us know. The people who frequent this list are incredibly motivated to fix problems in real applications -- all you need to inspire them is a good bug report. > Timing data on how long Harmony takes to compile, and how long Harmony > takes to run test suites compared to the other major JDKs would also be > very interesting stats to know. Yep. [1] http://harmony.apache.org/download.cgi Regards, Tim
