| OpenJDK | Dalibor Topic was giving a talk on the current-state-of-play of OpenJDK that I largely missed as I wasn't keeping track of time, so as I cannot find anything in the current session I really want, or should be have, to see, I'm having bit of a chat with him and stealing^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hcopying his slides, once he can connect to the Sun network. Not sure wht the problem is as I have no problem with connecting to the OSCON network from here. Anyway OpenJDK is a GPL'd version of Java 6, but a separate codebase from mainline which is SCSL licensed. It is missing certain proprietary parts which are currently being replaced with open source parts in various projects such as IcedTea, SoyLatte and Diablo. VisualVM is one of those tools that has come out of opening up Java that looks like developers will really benefit from. UPDATE : Landon Fuller mentions on his blog that Sun have approved merging of the BSD patchset into OpenJDK and that Dalibor Topic has proposed project sponsorship for the BSD port project. |

| "The slides are up on http://robilad.livejournal.com/34736.html . The proprietary parts have been pretty much all replaced over the past year, except from a small slice of SNMP code, that we're working on liberating." |
