Forking the JVM to Save JINI
Java stripped out the SecurityManager and offered nothing in its place. Peter Firmstone's answer: fork Apache River and OpenJDK to bring back both JINI and JVM-level authorization. Laudable, even necessary - and a very hard sell, because it runs only on his JDK. It's like a post-mortem for JINI while it's still trying to breathe.
