Some of us with a vested interested in all this (like me, the jdk
maintainer) are already watching the Mozilla/Java/Jzilla developments.
AFAIK, the hooks to an OpenJava framework have been left in, but there's
no JVM (as Ben has mentioned previously). Several folks have expressed
interest in an all-Java version of Mozilla, though that's likely to take
a while (first step is to get Mozilla modulerised enough to convert it
into JNI classes). The rest of us are waiting to see the source before
going further.
