"I'd be surprised if we were ever engaged in extending the .Net platform," as part of the JCP, Deutsch continued.
Asked if Microsoft would consider joining the JCP, Chiesa, in a separate interview, said there were no plans along those lines: "There is a Java community and Microsoft participates, but we're not a member of the JCP."
Participation, for example, includes developing a JDBC (Java Database Connectivity) 3.0 driver that is being demonstrated at JavaOne this week, Chiesa said. This allows Java developers to connect to Microsoft's SQL Server database. The driver is in a beta release.
"That is a form of participation," with the Java community, said Chiesa.
Not represented at the JCP roundtable were IBM and BEA Systems, two critical Java technology vendors who have been at odds with Sun at times. But roundtable participants indicated there was no specific reason that the two companies were not on the panel.
Both IBM and BEA were giving keynote presentations at JavaOne this week, making them critical participants in the conference as a whole.
