Is there a web page outlining your implementation plans and timelines in more detail than "Cygnus Implementation Plans for the Java(TM) Platform"? I looked around but didn't find anything... I'm particularly interested in Swing support on Linux. Wouldn't it be possible to bypass much of the AWT implementation if the approach was to get Swing running first (no native peers)? What is the status of JDK 1.2 support in general? What GC approach are you taking? Have you considered implementing "pluggable" GC? Thanks, Terry -- tsikes@netcom.com
