Apache Harmony = OS Java

Last Friday's Apache Harmony – J2SE 5 Project proposal really amazes me…

I wonder what Sun will do about this initiative… as soon as an OS java version is out, I am sure the whole Java Community Process (JCP) for new features/standards will change dramatically… and Sun won't necessarly have to have the lead…

There is a clear need for an open-source version of Java 2, Standard

Edition (J2SE) runtime platform, and there are many ongoing efforts

to produce solutions (Kaffe, Classpath, etc). There are also efforts

that provide alternative approaches to execution of Java bytecode

(GCJ and IKVM). All of these efforts provide a diversity of

solutions, which is healthy, but barriers exist which prevent these

efforts from reaching a greater potential.
