[ajug-members] Fw: Open Source Java 6 Developer Preview Release

[Jeremy Haile]

I think it's great to see projects like this, although I wonder how  
long it will be before companies feel comfortable running their  
mission-critical apps on an open-source JDK project.  Any thoughts?

In the short term, perhaps projects like this will pressure Apple to  
hurry up and put out their official JDK 6.
