Java Trial Support Coming In Linux Standard Base

Posted by timothy on from the chai-unfairly-excluded dept.

LinuxScribe writes "Java isn't in the LSB — yet. It's been a hard target to hit: which version gets standardized? How will test suites work? But the new version of LSB will take the first steps towards Java inclusion in standardized Linux development by introducing trial support for the language."

    It is a pretty silly thing to put in the standard. The JVM is essentially an emulator. If you're going to include emulators, why not put Dosbox in the LSB? If I'm looking for a Linux native application, it's not going to be enough anymore to know that it's LSB compliant, which kind of defeats the whole purpose.
