Apple Joins OpenJDK To Open Source Mac OS X Java Technology
- kls 16y agoI can't say that this is much of a surprise, I believe that with Java firmly in Oracle grasp, Jobs feels comfortable in letting it go. I am sure he feels that it is not strategic to Apples platform other than sales of Mac's to developers and given that Apple and Oracle are about the only two companies left not playing in each others spaces, he probably feels that it will provide a more timely release cycle for the OSX JVM. I was never that worried about Apple's decision on this, I am far more worried about what is going on with Apache and Oracle and it's effect on Java as a whole.
