Hello Jim,

Sorry to hear that, the move from my view is not really understandable since you were such a vital and important part of the JSF2 implementors, and you definitely will be hard if not almost impossible to replace.

Anyway, I wish you good luck and I hope you instantly will have a new Job.

Jim. I'm so sorry to hear that. I'm sure you'll land on both feet, and now is another chance to explore all of life's options.

Its easy to forget we have them. I don't think you'd want to work anywhere I've been working. ;)

I'm sure we'll meet again!

As I'm sure many of you have already heard, I'll be leaving Sun, effective today.  Oracle has, for reasons that I'm unable to discern, chosen not to make me an offer.  Go figure.  (In case you are wondering, the other 3 JSF guys at Sun were extended offers - you should still be able to pepper them with questions and bugs.)

This address will not function in just a few hours - if you need to, you may reach me at JamesGDriscoll@gmail.com (and please, don't be shy about job leads).

I still have a couple of AIs having to do with Ajax, and I have every intention of working on them, when I'm not busy looking for work.  I'll forward them on to Ed when I complete them.  Ironically, I should have much more time to work on my spec AIs now that I don't have that pesky paycheck producing job in the way.

All the best,
Jim Driscoll
