There's an article on the latest move in Java standards politics: http://technews.netscape.com/computing/technews/newsitem/0,290,36236,00.html?pt.netscape.fd.hl.ne A group of companies that don't want to play by Sun Microsystems' Java rules have formed an outside work group into an outfit called the J Consortium. The companies, including Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, and NewMonics, have formalized an ongoing effort to set a standard for a component of Java called "real-time" extensions My feeling is this split actually has some meaning. HP knows what they're doing in the embedded market. Not clear what the Linux angle on this is. Seems like we're not players at all. Replies directed to me alone, since java-linux doesn't really need lots of political discussion.
