Strange that Oracle takes this seriously, but not everything preceding it. It would seem that they only care about open Java when a significant group is at stake.
Apache and Google are huge parts of the Java ecosystem. If they (A&O) decided to back a new horse (C# anyone?) it would cripple Java adoption going forward. NHibernate is already a bifurcated example of how things could possibly go... Java has needed strong leadership for some time now. I think it's becoming clear that Oracle is the wrong kind of strong leadership. -Craig On Dec 10, 2:38 pm, CKoerner <[email protected]> wrote: > "Oracle has asked the Apache Software Foundation to reconsider its > decision to quit the Java SE/EE Executive Committee, and is also > acknowledging the ASF's importance to Java's future." > > http://news.idg.no/cw/art.cfm?id=D0CBFE66-1A64-67EA-E4FB1D830180257C -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
