I think a number of JOS Members wish to have a Java Drivers rather than
Linux Drivers. They wish to have a "completely" Object Oriented System
from scratch.
One things, I don't think using Java to write drivers. It would kill
performance.
Since most of bottleneck are not CPU-Bound. It is I/O-Bound. Using Java
would not decrease the performance SO GREAT as u run Java in other platform.

hm, a Java-Type Operating System Solution is not easy to do. If developers
develope
JOS based on other OS, it would be much much faster. But they prefer to
build
on their own.
Two Years is a SHORT Period to a OS. Linux has been spend near/more
than ten years. I think the status of JOS is fine.

Any Web Page Links? I would like to have a look at it. :D

The main fact is that , JOS hasn't got a fullly implementation JVM. If it
has been
done, the progress of JOS is much much faster. As I know, three JVM/Kernel
of
JOS, only implement basic instruction. Graphics and Thread hasn't fully
implementated.
