Hello to all of you,
I've read the most of the discussion about the blackdown-inprise issue and I'm really
annoyed (even
more i'm pissed off) about the way SUN treated the blackdown-team.
Now I have some questions and most of them are to SUN-representatives on this list:
What I don't understand is: Why didn't Inprise ever contact or support (testing and
bugfixing) the
Blackdown team in their porting effort, if they just wanted to have (and this seems to
be the case)
a production quality JDK1.2.2 for running JBuilder on Linux?
Why didn't SUN try to merge the efforts of blackdown, inprise and their own?
(I didn't hear any comment from SUN on this list yet)
Who is porting Java 2 v1.3 to Linux? Is it SUN themselves, Inprise, blackdown, or does
SUN wait until
IBM does it?
Did the blackdown-team get the same support from SUN as Inprise?
Will there be support from SUN to te blackdown-team in the future?
Will there ever be a bugfixed sunwjit?
When will SUN change their java-linux website and press-announcement to honor
blackdowns work and
add a link to www.blackdown.org, so people who want to get java2 for linux from the
SUN-website can
choose which implementation they want (native threads)?
Is there anyone from SUN here?
At last I wish to thank the blackdown-team for their great, yet still unhonored,
porting-effort, and
Paolo for being part in this discussion.
Jan
