Quite on the contrary, I think this is a quite matter-of-course move. Some
Java developers have been telling me that they could distinguish b/t a Java app
and a native app in the GNOME environment (though it is quite a different story
in KDE). They need a home, and the perception is, rightly or wrongly, Solaris
could become the best home base for Java developers.
The perceived tight Java integration also is a good selling tool to entice
Linux developers to consider Solaris.
A big +1.
A couple of years ago I was a Java developer at JavaOne and saw DTrace
in action at JavaOne. Around that time I was not developing on Solaris
but I was developing Java apps for Solaris. Solaris in my mind was an
OS for servers, not for developers. I saw Brian and Adam in one of the
BOF's talking about DTrace and the OpenSolaris project and was amazed.
So pretty much from that moment on I was hooked and never looked back.
