Saturday May 07, 2005 Harmony tunes up
I'd like to add my welcome to the Harmony project, a proposal (which I assume will be approved) over the Apache Incubator to grow a new, independent, up-to-date and 100% compatible implementation of v5 the Java platform. Things like this (and the new openness of the v6 - Mustang - work) renew my confidence in the promise of the Java community - read the FAQ to see more. This is just the sort of responsible, community-led evolution that the JCP rules were changed to facilitate.
Update: A positive and interesting posting from Sun's Java leader Graham Hamilton who comments "We'll probably participate in the project at some level". This two-track approach may well be the ideal thing for the future of the Java platform.
