Thanks, I know... I had the sources to the JDK years before I had even heard
of Kaffe, so I guess that makes me an intellectual leper, inadvertently
leaving bits and pieces hither and yon... I figured it was best to come out
of the closet and let others know I am infected.

What I have been hoping to do is work on development tools (which is what my
employer makes) and needed applications.
I am willing to test the frameworks on both Pocket Linux and Personal Java,
and note where things don't jive properly. I even wonder about that though,
since this whole IP protection thing is rather a sticky situation.
Anyways:
A class file written for Personal Java will need to be able to run on Pocket
Linux, so if and when the commercial guys catch up, we can deploy their apps
on Pocket Linux, since it is pretty much a super-set of Personal Java.
If we assume for a moment that the entire PDA world will go to Java, will
want to make sure we are all in sync so we can "beam" apps and data around.
Since I probably cannot contribute to Pocket Linux directly, I can go my own
route and meet you all when things converge.
Happy hacking!
