7 We are still talking about the java *language* ?
8 I aggree that we shouldn't be bound to some certain proprietary

12 There are lot's of java environments out there. So if you code
13 someting in java, you don't need to use Sun JDK. You need an
14 java environment which conforms to the standard (or at least
15 the subset you're actually using).

17 My personal reference is kaffe. I'm now using this for years,
18 and it works great for me. AFAIK my java code is standard conform
19 (but rarely tested on other JREs).

23 Its simply offtopic.
