Java Real-Time; Early Access for Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Sun has announced early access to its Java Real-Time System (RTS) for Linux,
| Java RTS 2.1_EA. Previously Java RTS was only available on Solaris 10 x86 or
| SPARC. With this early access release, Sun brings real-time Java capabilities
| to Linux with POSIX real-time extensions.
|
| Although only SUSE Linux Enterprise Real Time 10 is officially supported at
| this time, it is possible that other properly configured Linux distributions
| that implement this interface can also run Java RTS 2.1_EA. Additionally,
| support is planned for Red Hat Enterprise MRG 1.0 as well.

Iced Tea
,----[ Quote ]
| Java is a popular programming language used both on the desktop and the net.
| Until recently users who wanted to use just free software have had to
| struggle with partial support for Java, but now that Sun have begun freeing
| their Java implementation the way has opened for free software developers to
| create an entirely free implementation. This free Java, IcedTea, was shipped
| by default with Fedora 8, and so we talked to ThomasFitzsimmons, the lead
| developer behind this feature.

Apple's Leopard rejects latest version of Java
,----[ Quote ]
| Leopard may have 300 new features, but it is unable to run Java 1.6, even
| though that same version is available for both Windows and Linux. That has
| taken some Mac users by surprise, including some on this user forum on
| Apple's website.

Trolltech pours on the Java dev goodness
,----[ Quote ]
| Personally, I think Jambi is an excellent choice on a new project because of
| its extended capabilities, even though it is not free (unless you're working
| on an open source project, in which case a no-cost version is graciously made
| available). I'd still recommend waiting for a rev or two, so that the
| documentation and support for Jambi can be made truly Java-oriented.
