This would be great, if the Sun Linux port of the JDK were even
remotely Open Source!
This is not to knock the Blackdown team. I'm just pointing out that
Java is *not* Open Source. I would love to see a good, Open Source
Java implementation for Linux, but most of the options out there
are commercial and use non-Open Source licenses. As such, I believe
they are ineligible for support by projects like SourceXchange.
I doubt that most people would consider the Sun Community Source License
to be Open Source, either. What we really should be doing is lobbying
Sun (or other vendors, like IBM) to release their Java implementations
as Open Source.
