So, it seems that most of what Sun provides is just Java code for
various added APIs with new releases of software.
Granted, version 1.5 has lots of changes in the actual language, but
from what I understand, these changes are mostly cosmetic and do not
change the actual bytecode the compiler produces. If that's the case,
shouldn't someone be able to make the new 1.5 classes available to the
JRE and provide 1.5 considerably earlier?
For that matter, since the complier is basically a command-line
program, shouldn't the Solaris code basically translate without much
changing to OS X?
Or is there more going on here than I think?
