I actually agree with Uncle george I've been working on and experimental Java windowing
system
http://adric.home.mindspring.com/shark/
This Windowing System is between one too two years from public release. Unfortunately
I need
tight integration
between 1.2 and the O.S. I personally did my best to try to get 1.2 support for Linux
including e-mail directly to
Scott. The big problem I have is the current closed porting method is only related to
Java
today.
This completely ignores all possibility of advancing java when backward compatibility
is not
and issue.
I love what you guys are doing but Uncle George represents Java in the 64 bit world
and I'm
looking a Java if
you wanted to write a GUI today. You're ignoring these fascinating opportunities.
I suspect George's biggest problem is with your narrow "company" style approach to
the JVM.
This is a result of Suns lack of foresight to the true capabilities of the java
platform.
Look at there pitiful restrictions to Jini.
Java is way beyond a company and even the basic computer problems faced today.
To solve the future which is coming soon (Intel). We need Uncle Georges 64 bit JVM and
need
to know what is required for 64 bit support.
This is NOT trivial !!!! My stuff is more esoteric but Linux Java must support RD
efforts.
Forget about 1.2 on Linux today where will we be in 2/4/8/16/32/64/128 .......
