Comments on: Microsoft to work with Eclipse on Java

Although Eclipse competes with its Visual Studio business, Microsoft's Sam Ramji says a joint project will let Java Eclipse developers write native Windows Vista GUIs.

How Far Does The "Apple" Fall From The Tree... Nice Move!

"Among a range of other opportunities (which we're still working on), we discovered that Steve Northover (the SWT team lead) had gotten requests to make it easy for Java developers to write applications that look and feel like native Windows Vista. He and a small group of developers built out a prototype that enables SWT to use Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). We're committing to improve this technology with direct support from our engineering teams and the Open Source Software Lab, with the goal of a first-class authoring experience for Java developers,". Efforts that make it easy for Java developers to write applications that look and feel like native OS/2 must certainly be underway, also. ;-) !

M$ Java? LOL!

With all the work Micro$loth did to Java on winblows, I would
imagine that any self-respecting Java developer would ****
him/her self laughing so hard at this. I almost did!

Java on "Winblows" ;-) !

There is the gut feeling that one day "soon" OS/2 will be going Toe-To-Toe with Windows - Again. Not, as far as "Java" is concerned though because, Windows had the better view of OS'2's "exhaust" where "Java Running On OS/2" was concerned. ;-) !
