On one hand I'd like to see this get quietly resolved in a back room
somewhere so that the Java world can keep spinning.
On the other hand, I'd love to see Google's lawyers try to knock out a
bunch of the patents listed in the suit. Especially now that /In re
Bilski/'s been settled.

Couldn't agree more. And it is about patents- reading the legal
statement now (its on scribd via dzone) which is just aggravating.
Looks like parts of it would also apply to GWT, only it isn't as big a
target, nor distributed in quite the same way I guess??
Anyway, quite upsetting. Those collecting Oracle pay checks should
feel a bit upset now and be asking some hard questions.

I really, _REALLY_ didn't imagine this was actually going to happen,

My immediate gut reaction to this news: WTF is Ellison doing? I know
oracle likes the whole "screw the long term, we wanna see cash and we
wanna see it now" scheme, but stop shooting yourself in the foot.
Pretty please.
