MorphOS Java VM in the Works

JVM and OpenOffice for MorphOS ?
LOL ! Believe it when you see it. I would love to but It's not going to happen.

Keeping Java proprietary was one of Sun's biggest mistakes.

BTW, Java is NOT proprietary. .NOT/C# IS.

I have a feeling that other solutions will soon render Java useless.    I won't miss it much when it's gone. Overhyped IMHO.

You will see Dell die before Sun goes away. You shouldn't believe all these reuters/cnews/... articles after all.

Java has no competition from .NET. It has some issues but it keeps improving and evolving, It'll stay at the top for many years to come.
M$ will have a slice of the enterprise world (mainly due to IBM's support) but it will be a small one. You could call .NOT a failure so far. Perhaps M$ would have better luck pursuading the world that VisualBasic is the future. And you would expect the same number of "analysts", "experts" and "media" spreading the same FUD they always did.

What I'm saying is that it takes more than one or two professional developer to develop a proper Java VM.

Nevertheless, Kaffe is not a licensed VM. It is more of a development project than a deployment solution. As a matter of fact an early version exists for AmigaOS that worked with Jikes.
Kaffe lacks too many features of a full Java VM and being unlicensed it is more vulnerable to future changes. Of course, Sun is doing a good job managing Java and JCP is one of the best things in modern computing but there can't be promises for unlicensed VMs.

Still, it's good to have even a port of Kaffe but let's not fool people telling that MorphOS will have java so we can run any java program on it.
