Hi Alex, I shouldn't have judge your opinion by your experience in Java programming, my apology. As long as you are programming in java we are happy to discuss here. I change the title so as to stop the flame from continuing.

I assume the reason Kaffe et al are so behind par is because Java > was a moving target, but I don't see that being a problem anymore. Afaik the specification is somewhat frozen from sometime, new extention will be in form of external APIs. I may be wrong, or SUN may feel like itchy to chage it again. :> I didn't really mean I want Kaffe die because it's funded by Microsoft, but I don't like the way they maintain the package, and yes, I personally think someone has behind all these, but it's just my own imagination. A free Java like Kaffe is so important to Java community as it can be distributed with apps without too much license restriction. It's especially important for handheld device, where having those users download external SDK to use your java programs is out of question. > And yes, the Java code I write is generally not anything to do with the Web. > My last little project (not much of a project, but hey) was a Doom WAD > reader/writer. It's cool I'd like to see that. All my Java program are developed as applets, no matter whether I need to run on web or not. The reason is that I can turn an applet into an app by coding few lines of main(), thus developing into applets can give you more flexibilities. Just my personal opinion, what do you think about it? Alan.
