As a Java programmer I seriously suspect any one could build a
commercial-level(in-house, transaction-based, etc.) java application
without java.security.

My question is, Kaffe is funded by Microsoft(see my links in previous
mail). Who is determining such a low priority in implementing a feature so
important? - The funder Microsoft? Or the developers deliberately
cripple Java to a toy-programming language? 

I wouldn't believe the developers would like to see Kaffe become a toy.

My apology for being surjective but it's very suspicious.
