Can JCP lose vibrant java.net? Lin Jing compile 2003-6-10 16:28:11
Computer World Network Message When Jason Hunter and Sun CEOs Skot McNil, the Javaone held in San Francisco last year, it seems to be a new cooperation era of Java and open source software groups. Hunter is an open source software developer and has been leading the standardization of the Java XML model library to write him. He found that Sun's Java standard is not compatible with the open source software Apache license used by his library. This is not compatible between Java and all open source software, so Apache Foundation cannot continue to perform Java standards. The emergence of Hunter's speech in McNile shows that his work has been successful, and Sun has agreed to change Java to make it compatible with Apache license. McNeili said that I think we have made Java a more close group, and it is a wider group that can take consistent action. Hunter also expressed optimism. He wrote on the second day and happened at the Javaone meeting, which was greatly exceeded. I am very optimistic about the future. Now, after a year of Javaone, Hunter said he has given up his standard work. Critics pointed out that since the manufacturer successfully determined their own Java standard, Sun used Java-based Java program community (JCP) that the Java standard was lost. Meta Group Analyst THOMAS MURPHY example said that IBM has reduced activities to participate in JCP last year. IBM produces its own open source software development tools Eclipse, and some other things for network services. As the focus is transferred to java.net, the importance of JCP may be more reduced. When java.net is launched, it includes performing many Java application interfaces with open source software. Sun apparently hopes that Java.net is not just its own open source software planning exchange center. Sun also hopes that developers can provide more new creative and new code for this platform. Kluyt, director of the Sun JCP Program Office, said that one of Java.Net interesting tasks may be an open experiment platform, many developers can participate in development techniques and then as Java standards. Kluyt believes that Java.NET may also become a processing plant that has not yet become a standard Java program. However, from the long run, Java.net does not replace JCP, or make the number of Java specification recommendations to JCP. Kluytically said that IBM gradually stops participating in JCP activities. He said, although IBM did not propose a new Java standard recommendation last year, it is now said that IBM is going to be separated from JCP. IBM is unwilling to interview this article. However, IBM said that the more Java technology becomes close to the whole industry, rather than a company's things, the faster this technology has a popularity. .a1 {font-size: 1}
