ex tempore

I really like SUN hardware, i even sympathize with their CEO efforts, but saying something good about the software side, is usually hard, very hard. Let’s look at Java – on paper SUN freed Java, and Java’s JRE/JDK distribution. So, on paper all is good. Of course Java6u1 is out for weeks but here – the official place – all we get to package in Foresight Linux is the previous version. A bug is, off course, open, since April 19. Still no action. Tomorrow SUN will again do a big splash, it’s JavaONE after all. What about Jonathan and Ian, of instead too much talk, and fanfarre, getting this little things solved ? A community and an user base, after all, is built not of marketing, not of thin air, but of concrete, deliverable, things.
