Well, I didn't see any job postings on Apple site seeking Objective-C people to rewrite WO in Objective-C. Like I said to the ReadWriteWeb guy, Apple themselves needs a JVM for all their WO apps + a couple of J2EE ones (iTunes Connect is an example), so either Apple have their own internal JVM or they will use OpenJDK. > I think, the best way would seek Oracle to adopt WO and Wonder.

Yeah, but Apple rarely give/sell their technologies to other people... In fact, I don't remember Apple selling any of their stuff to other providers in the last 10 years. > God Knows! > >> >> FYI, Alfresco also use a Spring framework, Sprint Surf.
