Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. I should have been more specific: this
limtitation prevents Harmony from running on an appliance and claiming to
be Java compatible.

It's really a tempest in a teapot, at least for now. As Thorbjørn noted,
SE 6 is perfectly adequate for anything coming down the pike. If Oracle
does indeed force a fork between "official" SE 7 and the current open
source JVM, it will be interesting to see how the open source community
rects - will new libraries use only SE 6 capabilities? Oracle is in
danger of turning Java into PHP - the PHP4 vs PHP5 battle is still not
pretty.

I don't agree with Joe that Oracle doesn't want Java running on embedded
devices. Yes Oracles bread and butter is on the server side, but the
server
side usually talks to some kind of device on the user end.
