Subject: JDK S/W intent question??

Hi,

Please respond to : jmschartman@anet.bna.boeing.com



Subject: on-line control/mission critical applications ?

Note : This is the 3rd time I am sending this question to some
of the SUN email address since I have NOT received a single response.

The following is from the header in the SUN JDK S/W examples :


* This software is not designed or intended for use in on-line control of
* aircraft, air traffic, aircraft navigation or aircraft communications; or in
* the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear
* facility. Licensee represents and warrants that it will not use or
* redistribute the Software for such purposes.




Hi,

I have been evaluating the JDK and was curious about the
part of the warranty that states the S/W is not intended
for online control of mission critical applications.
Does this regard the sample examples that SUN provides
(the use of threading) and/or the Java language in general ?
Interested in Java as an alternate/replacement development
language for Ada.

Thanks, Joe
