That's not an accurate analogy either. SoyLatte is based on the OpenJDK source. Mono is a clean room implementation based solely on the C# spec. So SoyLatte is to Mac OS X as IcedTea to Linux, and Mono is to Microsoft C#/.NET as GCJ (or Apache Harmony) to Sun JDK. > The official apple java VM is analogous to microsoft releasing an > official version of C# on linux. > As you can see, C# just loses in this proposition: OpenJDK is far > closer to the official spec than Mono is to C#, and the non-open > source releases are available for far more platforms. Mono has another goal: to bring Java style programming to GNOME. And Banshee, F-Spot, and Tomboy proves that it is quite capable in that arena. -- Weiqi Gao [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.weiqigao.com/blog/ --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
