At a subsequent press conference, Sun Chairman/CEO Scott McNealy acknowledged Sun has made some mistakes with its now-10-year-old Java technology.
"Sure we made mistakes along the way," said McNealy. "I wish we could have monetized all the Java revenue. But if we hadn't opened the Java world up... the market opportunities would be nowhere near what they are today. I don't have any huge regrets."
"I don't know any development community ever that has had the volume, adoption, and success as an industry that [Java] has," McNealy said.
