Today during our JavaOne talk (given by Tim and I) I was proud to 
demonstrate JEdit running on Harmony!

That's right, with Swing/AWT code.  The formal contribution is on it's 
way, and I don't wish to steal any more thunder from the contribution 
when it's made, but we (Intel hat on here..) wasn't able to make the 
donation in time for the talk today because of internal process loose 
ends, and I wanted to make a splash for us at JavaOne.

I expect it will be here in the next couple of days.

Harmony - The question of compatible open source isn't "whether", but when!

[announce] Basically, general talks

This is basically only general talks. The Swing donation is not comitted, so why we should think and react as if it is comitted? Probably it is too early to raise any discussion on this topic.

I think it's fair to believe they are commited to the donation, duh. Anyways: this puts Sun under heavy pressure to FLOSS their own Java sooner rather than later... [continued].
