In the published minutes of the JCP EC meeting in Bonn last October, the complete (might I say epic) failure of Oracle’s Java Community stewardship becomes visible (emphasis mine):
Doug asked Oracle to acknowledge that it was asking the ECs to condone breaking the JSPA rules. He said that if he was put in a position where he had to condone breaking the rules he would have to resign. Ken said that he understood, and would regret it if Doug resigned, but pointed out the importance of allowing the conversation to go forward.
Doug Lea resigned from the JCP EC on 22 October 2010.
How is that for being positive and constructive?
Ok… where is that word, so does that mean it should not move java forward because of conflicts.. Harmony was an issue even years back, only now it popped out..Look at the merits of the language, and allow , ofcourse there is certain closeness now [ actually its evident now ], and people (a lot), says they are going to shift to .NET, as if its completely open and comes with Apache Licence..
Is that it?
Thats your entire article?
How about you write something that proves the point in your title, explain your viewpoint, debate what points in the minutes lead you to believe what your title says and more importantly explain why you believe that.
Ah nevermind, your just another troll looking for free hits to your blog.
