Java’s Source to be “Opened” Incrementally
Wednesday, July 19th, 2006
Robert Brewin, co-CTO of Sun Microsystems revealed that open-sourcing of Java programming language will be done incrementally. However, they are still having problem on how to keep Java compatible, and how to ensure that no particular company uses market forces as muscle for its own implementation, a move that would threaten Java's 'write once, run anywhere' mantra.
In the news:
- Sun CTO: Incremental open-sourcing of Java is the way [infoworld.com]
- Sun says open source Java possible in 'months' [mybroadband.co.za]
I'm wondering if that will affect Java programmers? I suppose it won't. What do you think?
