But apart from that, there has been a lot of progress on the technical side. OpenJDK now has live Mercurial repositories, a lot of new active outside developers, both companies (Red Hat, aicas) as well as individuals. There's a special TCK license for OpenJDK. Sun has become reasonable open and responsive wrt to patches and mailing list postings. I think they are doing pretty good, considering that they are all horribly busy. I've been a strong critic of the closedness of OpenJDK in the past, but I think I can honestly say that OpenJDK is on a good way, not by observing one single mailing list and detail of the progress, but by actively contributing and taking part of the whole thing. IMO the constitution is only a beaurocratic little detail and I'm sure it will be fixed, when needed. Cheers, Roman -- http://kennke.org/blog/
