What about a reality check? I have a very strong consideration of Apache, but I don't think that a thing such a VM can be developed without the big effort and funding that come from a big corporate. In fact, that Harmony is dead without IBM backing it has been said by Stephen Colebourne, who I think has a big consideration and knowledge of the Apache Foundation, don't you think? This should be also something that people continuously advocating a Java fork should think of carefully. -- Fabrizio Giudici, Ph.D. - Java Architect, Project Manager Tidalwave s.a.s. - "We make Java work.
