Re: Java development on debian ppc

[Mark W. Eichin]

Indeed, the main reason I'm lurking here (oops, guess I'm not just
lurking anymore :-) is the hope that I'll notice when we reach the
point of having a sufficient Free(libre) java environment, because 
of the rejoicing here...  in the meantime (especially as I do more
systems programming for which java is currently unsuited) than app 
programming) I don't particularly need it, any more than I need VB
or Flash environments.  (OK, that's harsh, there's enough stuff to
do *some* things Freely, but much off-the-shelf java code tends to
use non-Free components for whatever reason...)
