Re: Code donations for RPGUI initiative

Hi Joe,

Is there a JVM required on the server side to make those portions of EGL
work?  In the end that is one of my hangups.  The other one is the EGL isn't
open spec/source yet - which makes it a very dangerous adoption for somebody
to go hook-line-and-sinker with it as their new development direction.
 Other than those two things there are A LOT of cool things IBM has done
with EGL + tooling - I like the simplified syntax and the graphical
designer.

As is the case in any scenario, language war or not, it is always good for a
company to have options.
