"Well, the next version of CF is based on JRun; Macromedia Generator is based on JRun; so killing JRun would cascade delete CF and Generator. I find it hard to believe that Macromedia bought Allaire just for the Studio products." I actually went to the link where the rumor was. It's at f**ckedcompany.com (fill in the **). If you do a search on JRun you'll get to it....I don't have the direct link at the moment. Anyway, I read through the whole thread which only very few were relevant to the topic and worth reading...WHEW!! (taking out all the cr*p stuff people talked about in there which were way out of focus and some very tasteless comments and ego tripping....) few commented on the topic and basically said about the same thing as the above statement from the consultant. Basically, it wouldn't make sense to stop JRun development because if they are integrating their products with JRun as the backend so seems to be the plan which makes sense. I hope that's the real reason they bought Allaire (which that was my initial impression from press releases, etc. which seemed to be a joining of products going into the future). Comments were made on lack of R&D, so they tend to buy companies, but then, very good products have come out of their R&D development which someone else commented...hard to establish whats opinions drawn from people, and what's fact...so you have to read a lot of bullsh*t to try to get to the story. Sounds like they do tend to buy products, but further devlopment them....a little of both....someone from Macromedia may confirm better how they actually do operate. So, as I see it, the rumor doesn't make sense and this is just an added confirmation from the consultant's point of view above. For now, I see it as just a rumor but will retain a little of my skepticism. :-) On Tuesday, July 10, 2001 9:29 AM, Charles Arehart [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] wrote: > Here are some responses made on some other lists from folks inside > macromedia: > > "Macromedia has absolutely NOT stopped development on JRun.
