This is bizarre. IBM already has an open source version of Java (JikesVM),
but perhaps Rod Smith is not aware of that.
The VM is only a small part of Java. There are many open-source
VMs, so that is not the main problem, but there is not one complete
open-source implementation of the JDK 1.2 libraries, let along 1.4
or 1.5. There is also no open-source compiler that (as far as I
know) implements the new 1.5 language, and few VMs that implement the
debugging/profiling hooks.
