[general] Some more information from Sun on their OSS plans
http://news.com.com/Sun+expands+open-source+Java+plan/2100-7252_3-6105601.html?tag=nefd.top
Good news. Last night Sun announced that they should be getting javac
and hotspot out this year, and doing ME as well (which I was guessing...)
It will be interesting to see what license. I'm pulling for a BSD-ish
license like MIT so we can use it (they probably won't use Apache
License because of the FSFs view on it's compatibility with the GPL)
I had posted something related to this subject yesterday as well (but
before they announced anything...) :

Until we know the license and governance model we don't know anything.
Encouraging to hear the tempo and willingness to discuss with interested
parties though.
