Java and .NET

Tue, 21 Dec 2010 15:52:30 -0500

With Microsoft being one of three Platinum Sponsors (http://apache.org/foundation/thanks.html) it looks like ASF also diversifies its portfolio and runs .NET beside Java, as well....

JDK 7 delays are Sun/Oracle's fault

Tue, 14 Dec 2010 11:41:36 -0500

Work began on OpenJDK (JDK 7) four years ago right after the release of 1.6. The reason it is so far behind is because Sun wanted to throw everything and the kitchen sink into it and just recently Oracle finally dealt with with the scope creep by...

Remember why we don't have Java 7

Mon, 13 Dec 2010 09:51:30 -0500

Ask yourself this question...Why do we not have a Java 7 release? Mainly it is because of Apache (not the developers, but the bureaucrats) filibustering the Java 7 vote in the JCP Executive Committee all because they didn't want a Field Of Use...

Well Said! After Oracle taken over the Sun,Java future is in big mess. Thanks for Serverside.com to share this info. We should not let oracle to do whatever they want. There should be court or body to put the breaks for Oracle. Its hightime that...

my say

for me this is another "big bad news" after SUN's acquisition by oracle. Apache was much repected member than those giants in JCP. Orcale management need to learn that sucess of java was because of community support if they will continue to loose...

Well apparently Apache did

Sat, 11 Dec 2010 20:51:25 -0500

and that means a lot of people

Well, then God save you from being sued by Oracle

like they did Google, cause you aint be protected by the patent coverage available when you are certified by TCK.

Apache resigns from JCP EC

Does anyone care about JCP anymore ?. JCP has stopped being useful several years ago, so it doesn't matter that Oracle is taking 100% control of JCP.

Fri, 10 Dec 2010 13:42:21 -0500

First of all this is a matter of ethics and integrity. Apache lobbied very hard and democratically put acceptable language into the JSPA to allow for a true clean room open source implementation of Java. Sun agreed to provide the TCK...

No standard without specification

Fri, 10 Dec 2010 12:50:53 -0500

The JCP wasn't the proper venue for direct Java innovation but instead it was intended for standardization. If one were to submit a brand new JSR for an abstract technology that only existed in theory it would have been promptly rejected. The JCP...

As an open source developer

Fri, 10 Dec 2010 12:46:02 -0500

Quite honestly I've spent tens of thousands of hours working on open source stuff in java and c#. the argument that oracle owns your work just doesn't hold water. Oracle owns Java, but they don't own stuff written with java. Of course they can change...

I agree 100% with Apache

Fri, 10 Dec 2010 11:48:06 -0500

Apache developers exert an enormous amount of time, effort, and money into implementing Open Source implementations of Java specifications and other Java based community driven projects. Apache only wants assurances that if it delivers a 100% JSR...
