This sounds like a good thing is Sun are prepared to put
money into advancing the JDE. However the only thing I would worry
about is will the JDE debugger interface be released under GPL? Whilst
Sun so far been fairly honourable about java, and maintained (and
extended) its open source its not GPL, and it would be a pity to see a
properitary part of the JDE. Apart from philosophical reasons I've
already distributed the JDE, and both the JDE and emacs to fellow java
coders. If there were some sort of wacky license agreement to follow
(for even part of the JDE) particularly if it required downloads from
Sun seriously slow site, that would be a pity.
