Project Harmony: Apache J2SE… I know the real reason behind it

Apple, Java Add comments

There has been a lot of discussion spirred on the Apache Project Harmony announcement.

It even gave Hani some ammo other than that from the TSS Symposium :)

I think I know why they are doing this though. It isn’t to do with opensource, nor making a better JVM, or anything like that.

It is all about the Apple!

I polled the group that have put their name to the petition at Apache, and they are all Mac users. These poor people are so sick of the Apple support that they want to write something decent themselves so they aren’t behind the times all the time ;) ;) ;)

    Personally I think they should stay away from anything to do with drawing to the screen. The VM could be much more focused if it was designed purely for server applications. Additionally, the amount of work to make a decent implementation of all that desktop stuff seems like a nightmare.
