I second that. Can't wait for it to show up in Ubuntu. Thanks Sun!
May we live in interesting times. First Oracle makes a move on RedHat, then MS/Novell make sweet love and now Sun shares it crown jewels, whatever next..? ATI and Nvidia GPLv2 open source their drivers? :) Um... nah.

This URL has just got to bring a smile to even the grumpiest of FOSS peeps :) https://openjdk.dev.java.net/source/browse/openjdk/compil...
