otherwise, why not contact Holger about his JavaVM which apparently was just about ready (Hyperion?).
I agree. But like I've said so many times before; the MorphOS vs AmigaOS4 split has these kind of effects. There are so many people that emphasize the ability to choose from different products while not realizing that splitting the bread into more slices won't give you more bread.
This wasn't meant as flamebait nor MorphOS bashing, it's more of a conclusion or a "told you so" statement. There is no point in arguing this and therefore I ask you to please to restrain yourself from flaming.
