I think Oracle had initially promoted the notion that they had the
resources, discipline, and release management skill to get Java releases
out on predictable basis.
It was a nice notion. Certainly they were able to do better than Sun
while Sun was broke.
Now, however, we're seeing the lie put to that notion. Either:
1. Oracle's not willing to put enough of their resources in,
2. Oracle doesn't have enough bodies with the depth of JVM knowledge
necessary (and one can't develop such experience overnight), or
3. More bodies won't help -- period.
I'd guess it's somewhere between 2 and 3 (though 2 often means #1
occurred some time back when things were looking rosier).
