Giving EE to the Eclipse foundation and transitioning it to Jakarta EE is about improving it. It allows the Eclipse foundation to move faster without having to go through the JDK standardization process.
- vbezhenar 6y agoThe first thing they did is performed source-incompatible change of package names. That's hardly improving in my book, more like sabotaging. I understand that's because of trademarks, but that's another issue: why didn't Oracle provide all the necessary legal protections at least for package names.
- chris_j 6y agoA cynic might suggest that Oracle deliberately sabotaged Java EE because competitors like IBM and RedHat had beaten it in the marketplace and were making all the money off it.
