It's interesting, since I didn't think anyone in JBoss was bluffing.
 
Question, though: JBoss is free, right?  Therefore, before Sun goes around with the 
bravado, couldn't they have downloaded JBoss and run it against the compliance suite 
to know if it would pass or not?  It seems to me that, if anyone's bluffing, it's them.

        Famous quote from Sun on News.com:
        
        http://news.com.com/2100-1013-993471.html?tag=fd_top
        
        
        'Phipps said Wednesday that making the compliance test available will
        make it clear that Sun does not want to intentionally obstruct JBoss
        Group's efforts to gain J2EE compliance.
        
        However, Phipps said he doubts that JBoss software will pass the
        compliance test. Basing his opinion on public information, he said,
        JBoss software does not appear to implement all of the J2EE
        specification.
        
        "I predict that now that we're calling their bluff, they will make up
        another excuse for not doing the tests," Phipps said. '
        
        
        So, Sun's calling our bluff???
