We raised the awareness of the importance of having open standards and several 'large' corporations backed our opinions in their comments, even though their votes were 'yes' votes. It is nice to have the respect from these companies that we have worked our asses off for the last 5+ years to gain (partially by producing software that kicks ass over their own commercial software <smile>). There is no point in the ASF contributing to the JCP if we can't even implement or run the test cases against our own contributions. However, clearly our opinion matters a lot to other companies, so the pressure is really on Sun now to fix things. -jon -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
