Yes, indeed. Thank you for posting that.

Although I've not had the pleasure of chatting in person with Dalibor Topic and Mark Wielaard, as you have, they both did drop in on an OO.o 2.0 / Java thread on my local LUG mailing list, to reassure us that things have been improving rapidly with Classpath/gcj/gij/Kaffe/mauve.

My understanding is that (aside from the invaluable work of those coders and others) major credit is owed to Red Hat, Inc. for support of this initiative.
