Mike;

As a matter of interest who owns Java? I thought it was Sun, as they develop, sell and license Java. I belong to the Java users group and have been a member since it began. We always get information about Java before it is released to the main stream. Like the night we were given a copy of the then new version 1.2 and told, “But it is not supported by any browser”! A bow without arrows or something like that. :)
