One of the company with large contribution to the AdoptOpenJDK is jClarity. jClarity got purchased by Microsoft a few days ago. Are we seeing MS more involvement for JDK development from now on? They are pushing it big for .NET platform but the JVM consumption is a huge market opportunity. With MS strategy of going all in in cloud computing, supporting the JVM is a no-brainer to me.
- needusername 7y agoHonest question, do any of the current jClarity employees actually do upstream OpenJDK development? I know they build tools around Java but I'm not aware that any of the current employees take part in upstream OpenJDK development eg. at least have a JBS account. Maybe I'm just misinformed.
- mrbonner 7y agoFrom what I know, jClarity is only contributing financial support to the AdoptOpenJDK platform: build farm, hosting binaries. I don’t think they do backport of securities or bug fixes for expired releases like Redhat or Amazon does.
- karianna 7y agoWe had started to submit actual patches and work yes, that will now increase at MSFT. (ex jClaritt CEO here)
