But Harmony can't commit to such support - we are implementing a
specific API (Java 5), and Yoko is free to do what it wants to...
That's why I said that it is impossible to make Yoko fully compatible
with Java5 in my first email. And nobody wants to. And nobody asks to.
sorry - I feel like we're going in circles here. I don't understand...
Why can't yoko implement CORBA 2.3 completely (if that is our
requirement for JDK 5)?
The TCK for SE 5 probably wont' care of there's *more* CORBA in there,
so the 2.4 things, if compatible with 2.3, should be fine.
