,----[ Quote
| A year ago this week Sun finally bowed to pressure and agreed to make Java a
| free, open source project. It was an odd move given Sun's strong resistance
| to making Java open source for a more than a decade.

Sun set to open source Java products

| We won't see any huge wave until after that occurs. I suspect that the

| on the Linux platform, which is one of the reasons why GPL is such a

| With a platform with a compatible licence to that of Linux ...what

Sun hopes for Linux-like Solaris
,----[ Quote ]
| Basic operations, such as the "ls" command to see a listing of
| files in a directory, behave differently in Solaris, and Solaris
| lacks Linux tools for packaging, downloading and installing
| software such as Debian's apt-get, Murdock said. And Linux's
| installation process is much better than that of Solaris, in
| part because of better hardware support, he said.

Can Linux Get a Lift From Eclipse?
,----[ Quote ]
| Eager to shed its reputation as a tool just for Java developers, Eclipse has
| quickly embraced newer languages such as PHP, Python and Ruby—as well as
| older ones like Ada, COBOL and C. But when it comes to enabling native Linux
| development, Eclipse isn’t moving as fast. It’s not uncommon for applications
| originating from Eclipse to target Linux servers...
