Several companies outside Oracle already employ JDK folks (IBM, for example). I expect that increasingly our partners and competitors will do the same.
- pjmlp 8y agoSo which JEPs on OpenJDK are being done by Pivotal? I fail to find them. IBM does minor contributions to Java, and mainly follows the language specification non their own JVMs. IBM was also the only company that bothered to make an initial proposal to acquire Sun, but withdrew it after Oracle's.
- jacques_chester 8y agoThat Oracle employees are the dominant contributors today is only evidence of the state of the world today. Oracle is not owed indefinite fealty by folks locked into serfdom. Everyone working on the OpenJDK is entitled to work on it with someone else paying them.
- pjmlp 8y agoSo many words and no JEP contributions to show.
