| | Apache Harmony calls out for code - Builder UK |
 | | Apache Harmony, a project which plans to create an open source implementation of Java, has called on the Java business community to donate software. |
 | | Geir Magnusson, a board member at Apache Software Foundation, said developing open source implementations of all parts of the Java platform will be difficult, but he hopes to speed things along by persuading companies and free software projects to contribute code. |
 | | However, it has been reported that James Gosling, one of the creators of Java and now a senior Sun executive, is sceptical about Apache Harmony, although he seems to be more supportive of the idea of simply opening up the source code of Java itself. |
