I don't think discussions of whether or not Zope has a future running 
atop a Java virtual machine are all that helpful or pertinent to the 
discussion of migrating applications and businesses from zope2 to zope3.

Java does not feature on the roadmaps from Zope Corporation, and no-one 
that I know of is working on getting Zope3 to run on jython.

Please try to keep this mailing list focused on the issues it was set up 
to address.
