"Classpath hit 98% of 1.4 [yesterday], and I think we'll see another big bump tomorrow since the XMLEncoder patch went in [yesterday]. I think we're in the 90s against 1.5, though it is hard to say since there hasn't been a branch merge in quite a while. Of course, japi isn't the final word on how we're doing, which is why Mark is going to talk about this at FOSDEM. The coming year looks as though it will be a very good one for gcj and Classpath. I think we'll finish 1.5."

Actually, OpenOffice is also largely controlled by Sun so I don't think this is an issue. I believe RedHat is more concerned about being able to provide QA support for technology. With OpenOffice, that can release patches even if Sun balks. With Java, they have to wait for Sun and take the flack while the issues are unresolved. Customers don't care *who* is responsible for the problem, they just want it fixed and they pay for a specific distro to care care of the issues. Open Source basically gives RedHat less headaches.
