Ultimately this is about who decides about Java. The community or Oracle. Is it an open process where the users have a say or are they just forced to obey authority? Red Hat and IBM, weird as it may seem, decided against ordre de Mufti.
- threeseed 9y agoYou're talking nonsense. It IS an open process which is why we are reading articles like this and have seen equivalents from Red Hat and Oracle. Everything has been transparent and open. And you can name drop companies all you like but this is purely about the design and implementation. And frankly the meta module approach seams ludicrous to me.
- slantedview 9y agoAgree - the meta model idea is exactly the kind of nonsense that people make fun of Java for - complexity on top of complexity. That doesn't mean that Jigsaw doesn't have room for improvement though.
- throw2016 9y agoRedhat is a commercial company with commercial interests just like IBM and Oracle. It's not the community. 'The community' is a non structured dynamic open source ecosystem that dwarfs Redhat or any single company. No one can claim to speak for the 'community' when no such overarching organized structure exists. Various Redhat interests go around online discussion bullying others projects and open source companies by claiming to speak for the 'community'. This is just self serving and has to stop. They are speaking for themselves and their interests.
