Fact of the matter is that they don't unless you bitch loudly enough that
they are disrespecting the purpose of the JCP. But then again, you probably
don't see all the discussion that goes on the Servlet API and the other JSR
that I'm on.
If it wasn't for people like myself, Pier, Jason Hunter other ASF members
(and other OSS people), the JCP would be producing specifications that we
would never be able to implement here.
What good is that? How is that any different than what M$ does?
Real life business shouldn't be bullshit. I'm not going to buy into that. It
is people like you who opt into the flawed choices instead of speaking up
that allow the flawed choices to continue on longer than they should.
