One of the problems with Oracle is that they've not understood how work with the community. There are a number of people in Oracle saying, let tell our community what's going on.. something Oracle has been historically.. culturally against... and by rallying against those that were brave enough to stand up inside Oracle and say... this is how community works... we need to communicate with them whats going on... Instead of slamming them, we need to some how be constructive so that the shallow and mercantile part of Oracle sees that this communication with the community is actually a good thing. That those who were arguing to engage were actually correct to do so.
So lets look at facts... JigSaw is hard to execution on... no surprise there. Oracle wants to get it right... hurray for them.. wish they had of done that with Generics... they decide rather then push out a half baked idea they need more time for it in the oven. Seems logical so far. So, do I wish they'd made the deadline? Yes but... not at the expense of a half baked solution. -- Kirk On 2012-07-18, at 11:30 PM, Cédric Beust ♔ wrote: > On Wed, Jul 18, 2012 at 11:03 PM, Jan Goyvaerts <[email protected]> > wrote: > Because this proves - again - how deeply shallow and mercantile Java's new > owner is. > > Aren't you overreacting a bit?
