Classpath

Voici une position d'un des mecs du projet Classpath :

Extrait :
"the fact is that now there is really no hard need for the GNU Classpath project anymore. But I want to raise two aspects here:
1. Many projects are built around GNU Classpath right now. It won’t be exactly easy and trivial to port them over to Sun’s libraries.
2. The development environment of GNU Classpath is much more flexible right now. This spirit of hack - test - commit is part of what makes GNU Classpath attractive for developers, including me.

So, I think both codebases will peacefully coexist for a while, and most likely converge too quite a great degree. If at a later point they merge into one or if they will continue to coexist, time will tell."

Faut pas rêver, je pense. Le projet Classpath a fait beaucoup de bien au logiciel libre pour inclure des softs comme Eclipse dans les distribs actuelles. Mais maintenant, ca va être chaud de trouver des gens motivés pour continuer à le faire évoluer sachant qu'il sera toujours en retard de version vis à vis du JDK Sun.
