 | Microsoft licenses Java Technology from Sun |
 | Microsoft implements Java and adds own Java language
extensions and punts JNI for J/Direct |
 | Sun sues Microsoft for attempting to fragment or subvert
the Java "platform" (via copyright infringment) |
|
 | Ramifications taken
 | Microsoft has to add support for JNI |
 | VisualJ++ has to warn users if they enable Microsoft's

 | VisualJ++ has to default to disabling Microsoft's
extensions |
