A U.S. District Court judge's plan to force Microsoft Corp. to ship the most recent version of Java software with Windows desktop operating systems may revive Java development and help its rival, Sun Microsystems Inc., battle .Net.

That's how some Java developers, corporate IT executives and analysts see the impact of a pending action by U.S. District Court Judge J. Frederick Motz in Baltimore in the private antitrust case between Sun and Microsoft.

By requiring Microsoft to ship up-to-date
versions of Java, the judge said he wants to ensure that Java gets a fair shake in the platform war. He is expected to issue his "must carry" order in the next two weeks.
