There definitely seem to be some misunderstand here. Java as a langage is perfectly OK and no more objectionable than any other (in technical terms) Java as a platform tightly controled by Sun is something else entirely. As long as OO.o limits itself to java features _already_ reimplemented by free vms everything is ok (and note that it was not the case for OO.o 2 features - people had to crash-write some gcj features so OO.o could stay available. Moreover the number of FOSS platforms that will be able to provide these features by OO.o 2 launch time will be fairly limited) Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot
