Sun's Java web page at http://java.sun.com is chock full of good and interesting news. HP is licensing the JDK 1.2 HotSpot compiler for HP-UX. This is good news for the NWS and other HP users inside and outside the weather community. IBM is continuing their committment to Java by collaborating with Sun on Java Media. Java3D 1.1 beta 2 is now available (Curtis will test it for VisAD and let us know when it works). And finally there is an interesting story about Bill Joy and John Gage describing Jini. Jini and VisAD both use Java RMI for distributed objects. Cheers, Bill ---------------------------------------------------------- Bill Hibbard, SSEC, 1225 W.
