FYI Bradley Kuhn and I discussed the name of the project. Bradley
thinks that OJE (which stands for Open Java Extensions) is a bad idea
because it includes the word "Java" (and we don't have permission from
Sun to do that) and the word "Open" which invokes the "open source"
movement.
I suggested that we call the project:
xClasses
instead of OJE. This removes the reference to Java and the Open
Source movement but is still a snappy mnemonic.
Other alternatives were:
- Classpathx
too similar to Classpath, might cause confusion
- free-classesx
too strange
- GNU foundation classes
Sun use the term foundation classes, but for something different, so
this might be confusing.
So, the upshot of all that is: if the project is approved can we
please call it "xClasses" and not "OJE"?
