and IBM about releasing an open source version of java. There's talks
between the linux desktop movers about adopting java as the glue that
binds the major desktop projects together.
Key ASF individuals are joining these
I suspect that getting a consensus from the ASF members, much less the
community at large, as to a stance on open source Java will be pretty
difficult. The ASF is made up of individuals, not a small number of
which are intimately involved with each of the major JVM providers.

What about starting by making sure Apache java projects _do_ work with
the 2 open source JVMs that are mentioned in the article ?
Which two? I've had a thought to try testing James under gcj at some point.
