I'm still of the opinion that the LSB should not specify the Java
language and/or runtime.  Java is Sun's product and they have their own
certification programs.  However, the LSB should certify JNIs and JREs
as LSB applications.

Secondly, is Java relevant any longer?  Are new applications that would
have been written in Java are now being written in Web 2.0/AJAX or
Eclipse?

Lastly, would it be sufficient for the GNU/Linux community to endorse a
single open source Java provider?
