Let's see.
I think Oracle would be happy if they get $5 or $10. Switching the SDK from Android to "Real Java (tm)" would probably create some compatibility issues for existing apps. > BTW, "regular Java" hasn't achieved this goal if we talk about > Sun/Oracle Java, but Apple did that several years ago, before Google.

I think on the desktop this is irrelevant for most Java users: You either run one or two corporate Swing apps, or you're a dev, then you run an IDE and an app server, and if you don't have 8 GB of RAM then I can't help you anyway. ;-) On the server it is more interesting - an app server can save memories when the apps share VM classes and common libraries. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
