We are very interested in providing input to the JVM standardization effort, and have informed various folks at Sun to that effect. However, Sun's idea of an "open" standardization process is that they produce the draft standard, and then let you send them e-mail comments, and then they produce the final standard. There is no indication of which comments were considered, and no serious interaction with the various interested parties. Allowing Sun to be the submitter of the Java-related standards was a big mistake, IMHO. : ... : Markus : -- : Markus G.
