Today, IBM and Oracle announced their intent to work together to
accelerate innovation on the Java Platform, leveraging OpenJDK.
This is great news; IBM has been a pillar in the Java ecosystem since
Dec, 1995 when they became a licensee (web.archive.org) and their
commitment includes participation and leadership in JSRs, participation
in the JCP EC, investment in community activities and projects, and a
multitude of products and tools built on the Java platform. The new
arrangement should indeed provide an acceleration of the development of
the platform.
Today's announcements have these main components:
• IBM and Oracle will work together to make OpenJDK the primary forum
for Open Source Java SE Development
• IBM and Oracle are committed to accelerate the pace of evolution of
the Java Platform, and will jointly support the Java SE 7 and Java SE 8
schedule proposed at JavaOne and elaborated yesterday by Mark and Henrik.
• IBM and Oracle will work together to continue to enhance the JCP,
which remains the primary standards body for work on Java Specifications.
