Java to be Open Sourced in October?
http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2162306/first-open-source-java-promised
About time if you ask me :) I was particularly interested in the J2ME bit...
'Brenner pointed at the consortium set up in June by Motorola, NEC, Panasonic, Samsung, NTT DoCoMo and Vodafone which seeks to create a standard version of mobile Linux.
"So far we have clearly seen that going in an OS direction for Java ME is the right and logical choice at this point. We really do want to lead and establish that direction in the market," said Brenner."'
What do you suppose that means?
Thoughts?
It surprises me a bit, I thought Motorola, Nokia, Ericson all joined thatSymbian joint venture. That Symbian OS supports J2ME. kind regards,JOS (< the one and only Java OS ;-)

Interesting. I didn't know they'd even bothered. Sun's PalmOS support has been pretty half-hearted and there doesn't seem to be a MIDP 2.0 implementation anywhere. I think IBM has one, but I don't believe its free. Sadly.
