Perhaps this is a direct result of trying to bring an open technology to 
market, and at the same time protect the one thing that makes Java useful in 
the first place (write once, run everywhere(TM)).

Also once a technology is invented it needs time for the comunity to 
evaluate and comment on whats been done, and these comments must also be 
evaluted and the next step then taken.

This all takes time, however I for one and happy this does take place.

As for porting assistance, I think that you will find that SUN has __very__ 
close links with the blackdown guys and do offer help when it's requested.
