Until FreeScale IPO is over I can't say (or even hint) as to what the 
future of Metrowerks is.  I can say what the short plans are.   Up until 
January I expected a Java plugin to be available in this quarter.   That 
is why my comments were "beating around the bush" we have legal 
restrictions about this.

There obviously won't be any Java plugins this quarter, and I don't see 
any thing for the next quarter at this time.  I still can't comment on 
the long term plans.   I really wish I could.
