Thanks for the offer, but my plate is already far too full. Nor am I interested in my customers testing Harmony, for pretty much the same reason. Pragmatically, as a web application developer, the Sun JVM is free for my customers, which eliminates any interest (aside from theoretical) in non-Sun, maybe-sorta-kinda-mostly working, and non-performant JVMs. Sun is doing a good job, looks to continue to do so, and seems generally to have a clue about not screwing customers. Good enough. Flip this around - who *does* have a pragmatic interest in testing and development of an open-source JVM? That should suggest a venue.
