Hi!

I have a problem with it, that Java isn't OpenSource.
There existing programs like gcj, kaffe, kisseme, sablevm, etc. which want 
to run Java-binaries. But all are not 100% compatible with Suns Java and so 
can't called "Java".
And they are all more in Java1.1 state, then in Java1.5.

But how hard is it, to reimplement the plantform-dependent parts (the JVM 
and .so/.dll libs) as OpenSource and using the platform-independent parts 
(Java-Classes) from Sun ?

Then there can be existing the first real Java (which is allowed to can be 
called so) with an OpenSource JVM.

But how hard is it. And is it planned, that Blackdown creates in any time an 
OpenSource JVM?
