I think most of us who have been using JSP feel the same way. It's
becoming extremely difficult to justify putting any more time and money
into JSP projects. Perhaps we should put together some kind of formal
petition for a release timeframe and an explanation of what's going on.
It's a little perplexing that Sun is relying on us as early adopters to
sell their technology and at the same time gives us so little information
or support.
What's strange is that in general I think Javasoft has done a great job of
releasing high-quality specifications in a short period of time. I can't
imagine what the holdup is on this.
