> You ever seen the term "slaveryware"? You have now. We are still talking about the java *language* ? I aggree that we shouldn't be bound to some certain proprietary software. But the java language is not software, it is couple of abstract concept for actually writing software. There are lot's of java environments out there. So if you code someting in java, you don't need to use Sun JDK. You need an java environment which conforms to the standard (or at least the subset you're actually using). My personal reference is kaffe. I'm now using this for years, and it works great for me. AFAIK my java code is standard conform (but rarely tested on other JREs). I won't comment anything more on the "slaveryware" issue. Its simply offtopic. *If* the kaffe port is currently broken, then let's fix it. cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
