Hi, Being one of the Kaffe protagonists, I was recently contacted by EarthWeb to write a article about Linux & Java. Since I greatly dislike to "deliberatly ignore" fellow projects, I plan to include not just kaffe, but other major Java projects as well. Japhar is definitely one of them, and that brings up a few questions: (1) Do you have any objections that I include Japhar? I just ask because some people expect us to be rivals (even if I'm focused on the various AWT implementations of kaffe). That's for sure not true with me - we IMHO need not less, but more Java implementations to prevent Java from becoming the next "Windows" (esp. in the advent of 1.2 and the "community license"), and there's no reason why we shouldn't treat us fair, sharing this understanding. (2) If I got it right, your main focus is on compatibility? How do you feel about the specifications (sufficient, improving, basis for a "standard")? What are your plans reg. 1.2? (3) Do you expect the "community license" to have an impact on your contributors base? (4) Do you have plans reg. JIT support, yet? TYA? (5) any things you would like me to mention? (people, plans, needs, future releases, other projects..)
