There's an article on zdnet about Sun dropping their standardization
efforts for Java.

http://www.zdnet.com/pcweek/stories/news/0,4153,2405787,00.html

I guess the definition of Java is just going to be "whatever Sun says it
is".

This seems like a good oppertunity to promote Ada as an "Open"
alternative, that is in many cases more portable as well.
