Hi Dalibor:
Thanks for your reply.
I agree. As far as I see, Kaffe didn't release any thing related to
CLDC which was included in CDC . But for j2se compatibility, I see the
result,which would definitely inspire many developers change to Kaffe.
I don't know if we could run the whole OSGI framework on
Kaffe,OSGI+CDC(Kaffe?) would be an interesting field .
Cheers
Sakur
