[begin IBM announcement]
Dateline: August 22, 2002    Statement of Intent

Our intent is to deliver the following features in 4Q2002:

An updated version of the IBM Web Browser for OS/2.
Support for Web Start Java application deployment technology . We intend
to provide Java Web Start for OS/2 based on SUN's Java Web Start version
1.0.1 for Windows. Our plan includes desktop integration functions
adapted for differences between Windows and OS/2.

An XML Parser for Java applications on OS/2. We intend to provide a XML
Parser for Java based on the Xerces version 2.0.1 and Xalan version
2.3.1 Open Source technology from the Apache XML Project.
[end IBM announcement]

This is generally a little bit of elaboration on what IBM generally
described in their OS/2 2002 Strategy document but still, it is nice to
see it spelled out.

Posted with OS/2 Warp 4.52
and IBM Web Browser v1.2

All part of what the promised some time ago....

Makes you wonder why Golden Code and Innotek are working on a Java 1.4
release for OS/2.

Ahaaa yes, IBM must be making one ????

Best regards

Everyone who is at least a bit interested in Java and XML knows that he can
use Xerces and Xalan right now. They run perfectly with Java 1.3.x. No need
to wait for IBM releasing a branded version.
