As if at Oracle they're interested about the community's opinion. We're just meddling nerds to them; ignorant about the - real - facts of life.
Java's private property now. And the new owner doesn't like other opinions than his own. But we're free to contribute to the OpenJDK though ! Which is, btw, the only officially allowed open source JDK. Anybody else gets his pants sued off. Or publicly accused of blocking the advances of Java - which was approved by an overwhelming majority by the way ! So, what's all this fuss all about ???? http://blogs.oracle.com/henrik/2010/12/oracle_response_to_apache_departure_from_jcp.html Because not only don't they like different opinions, they don't like any kind of 'opposition' either. So, really, they should stop calling it "Open" JDK ! Which in effect it isn't any more because they don't give a damn about the community. And as such, something like JCP became obsolete altogether. What good is any standardization organization that won't contradict Java's owner ? Just close the whole lot, and get on with it. THERE ! That's my rant !
