Respect latest JDK API specs where you can, and do as Sun does where you must ;) > Also, I think it's a unfortunate that Java language doesn't have a > standard which would compel non-open source communities to respect the > standard. IMO, if there was a Java standard, it's possible that we never > had this discussion ;). An ISO or ECMA standard would be nice. I doubt though, that it would remove all ambiguities from the language, or the class library. Take http://www.kaffe.org/pipermail/kaffe/2003-May/042181.html for an example of how important it is to know how methods use each other internally. If a standard went down into that much detail, it might as well be published as source code ;) > Finally, are you aware of this: > http://linuxtoday.com/it_management/2003062301226NWDTRH We had a vey short thread about it last week: http://www.kaffe.org/pipermail/kaffe/2003-June/042780.html Nothing on RedHat's site seems to confirm it, so I think it's just some JavaOne fallout. I wouldn't put too high hopes into it, since Sun has been burned once with Java, and I doubt they will release their grip on the platform very soon. Especially with Microsoft trying hard to push .net everywhere. cheers, dalibor topic __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
