Chris, I personally think it would be *very* nice to have Wonka and friends donated to the Harmony Project, if only as a starting point for a very portable and embeddable JVM. While Harmony is principally aimed at Java Standard Edition, it is not a secret that many of us would like to continue on with Java Mobile Edition once the standard edition is certified. I think Wonka could be a great seed in that respect. -- Stefano. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Terms of use : http://incubator.apache.org/harmony/mailing.html To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
