Another option for developers on this list would be to leave Embedlets dormant
for the time being and get involved directly with the JDDAC project. As Chris
indicated, JDDAC is being backed by both Sun and Agilent and through Agilent
(which is helping to drive the IEEE 1451 standard) an increasing number of
important companies are being brought on board.
A large amount of the thinking that has been discussed in the Embedlets group
over the past couple of years lines up very well with JDDACs objectives but the
benefits to working directly with JDDAC over Embedlets include increased
visibility at the center of the Embedded Java universe (which has a greater
chance of leading to paying work).
Perhaps sometime in the future there will be an opportunity to bring Embedlets
under the JDDAC umbrella but for now, JDDAC is new but well-backed, momentum in
the project is growing and the opportunity is open for Embedded Java developers
to get involved.
