Re: Sun
OK, when I worked for a J2EE company that got certified, developer group I would have lunch with, they said J2EE had 2 or 3 thousand tests or some silly #, and that hey had problems, and that test even were not clear to the point they could not run it. They told me that Sun said that the other vendors did not even try, becuase they self certified.

This will be a long reply to a short message but you gave me the perfect opportunity to dump this off my chest. Nothing for a good long time. The amount of energy now required to start any effort in Apache is much much greater than it once was. To be honest, I have nothing but the greatest opinion of Apache, but nothing but the most negative opinion of the results of the reorg. I was totally right, we have thrown the baby out with the bathwater and for now on everything worth anything will happen in Commons or the Sandboxes, etc. Its just too much of a gigantic pain to argue yourself to death and deal with a tricameral or worse process. We set out to fix too little oversight and well, we overcompensated on the ice and are in a ditch. Tapestry was a unique situation because you had a star like Howard and a great group of guys to make it worthwhile. They deserve the credit, I did little if anything. I just ran interference against the organization and took a few bullets. It shouldn't be like this. A more accurate analysis would be that we saw a river that was flooding a valley and we dammed it too completely and now its overflowing its banks in some places but causing a draught in the valley. Its hard to plant new crops or grow some of the existing ones. There will be more violations as people find clever ways around the bureaucracy and fewer bold an new efforts. Its a system to work against not in. Fortunately, the fertile POI plantation is more alive now than ever. It was hard for me but I made a conscious decision that for the project to grow, I needed to be less active and let others fill the void. That¹s happening now and on top of that business is booming. So I have a nice well-irrigated little home to return/retreat into and a new frontier to explore that has not reached the level of management that we now have here. (I stole this idea from Stefano whom I think quits his projects and returns on a regular basis for this same reason ;-) -- though I might be giving him excessive credit -- I wouldn't bet on it... In my next life I want to be reincarnated as a fly on Stefano's wall...) I've no intention of being the one who picks up the hatchet and fights the counter-reformation. I'd rather just be on of the cowering masses (for a change) that follows once the inevitable backlash starts. I'm not the only one who is unhappy with the current reforms. In the case of AltRMI, its in good hands with Paul Hammant who knows more about starting projects than I ever will ;-) (now releasing them is another story ha ha j/k paul). In any case.
