Yes. I remember it. When I read the summary I thought "What does QT have to do with Java?" but this is clearly something different. I guess the other Harmony project is dead.

Given that its raison d'etre was to produce a GPLed Qt implementation because Qt wasn't GPLed, and Qt is now GPLed, it would be a bit of a waste of time to continue with it...

Actually, even after Qt was GPL'd, there were a few that wanted to continue Harmony because they wanted it LGPL.

That movement never got very far AFAIK.
