This quite misleading. As far as I know, the Microsoft contract referred to has only funded a very small part of Kaffe. (I have had contact with Tim Wilkinson and Kaffe since before there was a Transvirtual, and in fact was involved in some early of funding of Kaffe, when I worked at Cygnus .) > Also one of the very annoying thing in kaffe bother me much is that it has > not implemented java.security.

You are being deliberately provocative. Of course one can build a serious application without java.security. One can even build a secure application without it, though java.security gives you better control. A compiler, a word-processor, an editor, or any single-user application should not to deal with security concerns. -- --Per Bothner [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.bothner.com/~per/
