Thanks for the encouragement, but I won't even consider it until
Sun executives make good on their predecessors' prior promises,
both to me personally and publicly to the ASF, that Apache
would be able to implement any Sun-led Java Specification as
open source under the Java Community Process.  Specifically,
this means providing access to the JCK to the Apache Harmony
project under terms that would not prevent us from distributing
our own software under the Apache License.

Although that has little to do with OpenSolaris, a promise is
still a promise (in my world) and I don't do work on behalf of
unethical companies.

Cheers,
