I think it too, but I also realise that we have priorities. Our salaries
don't come from Linux, they come mostly from systems like AIX, OS/390,
and AS/400. So, in my personal opinion, our first task is to bring the
1.2 environment on such systems, and later on Linux.

Oh yes, and I hope that Sun could understand the problem behind it. One
nice thing would be integrating all the major "players" involved in the
JVM development and make them build all together a port under Linux (ala
Jakarta Apache!).

I have to say that, sorry. The ideas expressed in this E-Mails are my
OWN. They're not related to the fact that I work for IBM in ANY WAY. I
don't know anything about plans on the Linux JVM from IBM but for what's
available on public IBM websites (www.alphaworks.ibm.com, www.ibm.com).
