yes, that would be plain and simple theft. We didn't "relabelled"
Blackdown JDK, why should we do something like that ? To piss off a
lot of people ? No, we started from the Blackdown patches for JDK
1.2.1 and then, after many weeks of feverish work, produced a JDK
1.2.2+patches+JPDA that is the result of the work of Sun and Inprise
programmers and testers. Not many people realize how much work is
involved in this. Running the JCK alone, on fast iron, can take a
whole day. The simple API testing is about 4 hours. If you mess around
with this you have to restart it.
Believe me, if we had the feeling that Blackdown wa going to produce a
JDK 1.2.2+JPDA in time we would gladly have saved the time :)
