RedHat joins OpenJDK
  Posted by pelegri in General

Red Hat Logo

Reports from MR, Barton and Simon all indicating that Red Hat has signed both the Sun Contributor Agreement and the OpenJDK Community TCK License. This is good news for Java SE and Linux developers.

The SCA will also help other projects like GlassFish; as you may have tracked (JBoss@TA) JBoss is using a few GlassFish components (JSF, Metro, others); the SCA will make it easier for RedHat employees to put contributions back into those components.

Multi-Language VM Proposal
  Posted by pelegri in General

Engraving of the tower of Babel

John Rose has proposed a new OpenJDK project, the Multi-Language VM. Years ago John and I worked together on Scheme-related projects and I know his expertise and commitment to this area, so looking forward to the evolution of the project, specially given the goals of Java EE 6.

Send responses to the Discuss@OpenJDK alias. I see there is already one follow-up

Added: John has published a summary for the first JSR 292 EG Meeting/a>.

OpenJDK 6 Proposed Plan

Projects like GlassFish and OpenJDK have similar challenges like Resources and Timing (not having a handy Time Lord) to balance today and tomorrow's requirements, address existing and new customers, build community and deliver products...

At GlassFish we are going through several phases ([0], [1], [2], [2b], [3]). At OpenJDK, Joe Darcy describes the latest plans for how to go Forward to the Past: Toward OpenJDK 6, combining the move towards JDK 7 with delivering a useful implementation for today's Java SE specs.

Let's Going Duke

Today Sun made available a new license for the TCK for Java SE (the JCK). The license is targeted to developers building on OpenJDK and simplifies testing that modifications built on OpenJDK are compatible. Check on these perspectives: Rich, Tom, Simon and Robilad.

The release has also been reported by several news sources including: FirstCall, InfoWorld, CNet

Old timers may recognize some ideas from the pre-GlassFish JDL license.
