In this case it would be a fork from the standard. Without allowing the TCK to be used against harmony the project must be considered a different standard that may will diverge in the future.
Given the disappointment over closures and collection literals being delayed until java 8 there must be a temptation within the harmony camp to push ahead with these features and produce the version of java that many are clamoring for.
- sigzero 16y agoIt would be dead in the water if forked from the "standard". Java plays in the enterprise space and they are pretty particular about that sort of thing.
- ollysb 16y agoI agree, the java community is generally extremely risk averse. This does however create a positive pressure towards such a fork. It seems very hypothetical at the moment but given that a fork were to receive backing from google I'm sure the enterprise community would be comfortable using it.
