Integration of Blackdown features into the Sun JVM?

[Jim Hazen]

I heard a while back that Blackdown would be contributing enhancements to the Sun JVM.  Specifically I'm looking for Blackdown's WebStart enhancements to become standard on the JRE's shipped by Sun.

Anyone know if/when this will happen?  I love the Blackdown JVMs, but the releases have been very sporadic.  There was no Blackdown 1.4.1 release (only a beta), and this 1.4.2 rc is coming pretty close to 1.4.2's end of life.

Once Tiger ships it would be nice not to have to wait a year before seeing a Blackdown implementation.  Or should I say, see Blackdown features available.  If Blackdown features were merged quicker into the Sun version I'd be cool with that.  I heard that some Blackdown folks were on the Tiger working group.  Does that mean more involvement, quicker adoption of Blackdown Linux features in the Sun Linux JVMs?
