Sept ans aprÃs GNU Classpath, kaffe et d'autres projets de machines virtuelles java libres, la fondation Apache se rÃveille... mais cette fois, Sun donne sa bÃnÃdiction (alors que sa position vis-Ã-vis des projets GNU Classpath et autres Ãtait ambiguÃ).
Bonne lecture, Apache Eyes Open-Source Java Project Martin LaMonica, CNET News.com The Apache Foundation has proposed creating an open-source version of Java on the desktop, a plan that Sun Microsystems has initially welcomed. Project Harmony, which was formally proposed Friday, aims to write from scratch the software, called Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE), that is needed to run Java programs on desktop PCs. The project was proposed by members of Apache -- the foundation behind several popular open-source products -- and other individuals involved in Java development. The submitters plan to create a Java virtual machine, related "libraries" and testing software, all of which would be available under the Apache open-source license. In the Project Harmony proposal and FAQ, the group of submitters said there is "broad community interest" in creating an open-source version of J2SE. It said that Project Harmony does not intend to compete with Sun directly and that it will use a code-submission process designed to avoid legal problems. http://news.com.com/2100-7344_3-5700216.html -- Arnaud Vandyck Java Trap: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/java-trap.html
