Still, HP and Sun have butted heads over Java on other occasions as well. At the core of the HP's agenda is its own ChaiVM, a clean-room version of the Java language -- developed exclusively by HP over dissatisfaction with Sun's control of Java -- and to which Microsoft recently tied its Universal Plug and Play instant networking technology in an effort to undermine Sun's Jini.
Sun has thwarted past efforts by the Working Group to take control of Java real-time extensions. In January, Sun successfully lobbied for a rejection of the Working Group's proposal to the National Committee for Information Technology Standardization (NCITS) to manage development around real-time extensions.
