in my case it was simply that most people apparently thought, I would never come up to all my announcements and promises. They probably didn’t know of/about my involvement, because few people appear to be subscribed to xwin-discuss.
This combined with my previous mis-conception, you all at Sun would still be living in a land, where milk and honey flow, plus above Blog, which I had been misunderstanding during a minute of “seeing black”, made me write that message.
I clearly could have chosen a more intelligent way of telling people that I’m also working as much, as they do, too.

Well … fortunately did nobody kill me instantly, but people have given me the chance to defend myself.

Thank you,

And yet I only come in 3rd place???

Adding a few client programs or libs to Alan’s framework of Makefiles only takes a few hours.
If you don’t believe me, ask for exact details.

Apparently it is not worth doing anything difficult at low level. The credits and all the praise will always go towards what is mainstream, whether much or difficult work had been involved, or not.

Thank you so much, I will leave the FOX thing, because my work, effort and investment is not being recognized.
It is a joke to compare my work with adding a few client things to Alan’s Makefiles. I have enough of how the OpenSolaris “system” treats me. I never saw a Cent. Okay. But then I would at least like to get the credits I deserve, no more, no less.

We made a fully bootstrappable and redistributable version of the JRE available that only depends on Free Software:
http://icedtea.classpath.org/
It is based on OpenJDK with the binary blobs replaced with code from GNU Classpath and a patched build system so that you can use gcj to build it all from scratch.
