That's wrong. Feel free to present an example.
- mike_hearn 10y agoAndroid is one obvious example. GNU Classpath is another. Avian is another.
- premium-concern 10y agoSorry, but no. None of them can passed the JCK, which is a requirement to certify a Java implementation.
- mike_hearn 10y agoYour original statement was you can't BUILD an implementation without getting Oracle's blessing. Now you've switched to saying you can't CERTIFY which is a different claim.
- premium-concern 10y agoI understand that you are trying to play semantics here, but in this case it doesn't work. You can't BUILD an implementation of Java, because "Java" is defined by "passes the Java conformance tests". You can build "something", but it won't be Java, so don't call it Java. Even Google understood that.
