Is it possible to just build it and, if widely adopted by the industry, force the hand of the JSR process to formalize it?
Why must every advancement go through committee?
- amyjess 10y agoI think that if this JSR doesn't get the requisite votes, Oracle will release it anyway and use their ownership of the Java trademark to terminate the JCP, disband the JCP Executive Committee, and make it just another Oracle product. Maybe it'll even be totally proprietary without an OpenJDK release. Basically, Red Hat and IBM get to choose whether or not Java gets closed up again based on how they vote.
