Red Hat Joins Open Source Java Project

Posted by kdawson on from the cup-of-cooperation dept.

narramissic writes "Red Hat has signed on to Sun's OpenJDK project and agreed to coordinate its own Java development efforts for Linux with the project. Red Hat will align the work it has done on IcedTea (its own implementation of some parts of the Java SE JDK) with OpenJDK. As part of its participation in OpenJDK, Red Hat will eventually create a compatible OpenJDK implementation for its Enterprise Linux distribution and will also use OpenJDK to create a runtime for its JBoss Enterprise Middleware that is optimized for a Linux environment."

    At least 5, but you apparently had a problem converting from unix to dos line endings before you posted. Also, it contains a bug, as the title of your post is not the same as the class name.

    You're talking about Perl, right?... When any program you can possibly imagine takes more than one line of code... Fixed that for ya.
