I see two points:
1. Having felt frustrated for some time with the lack of visible progress, I
posted a message asking how I could help. No response.
2. There was a comment in an earlier message that a commercial product was not a
good idea. I don't see why. Clearly, from the apparent difficulty Blackdown is
having in producing a port, this is a nontrivial problem. Perhaps we need two
types of releases: Free ports which are slow and (possibly) buggy. This will be
fine for the person who wants to learn or fool around with Java. 2. Commercial
releases which provide the features needed in a production environment. I have
no problem paying for something which I, or my clients, are going to make money
from. But as someone else pointed out, given the current situation, it would be
impossible for me to recommend Linux as a Java platform. Solaris, or NT on the
low end, are my only choices.
Thanks for your time.
