The Java Promise
Sun is announcing today the availability of a new license that
will fulfill our promise to the Free software world to make it
possible to test OpenJDK-based implementations for compatibility.
We are about to start an IRC discussion to talk about it.
Please check out the
OpenJDK TCK License and also the
updated FAQ.
The TCK is the tool through which compatibility can be determined. While it is common for many programming environments to work on more than one platform I challenge any of them to have gone to the lengths Java has to insure the same quality experience on all platforms. And to Java's credit it also brings along stellar performance and security.
After the chat let's continue to the discussion on the discuss mailing list (or discuss on gmane).
NOTE on submitting comments: The Roller software we use here at Sun is quite aggressive about which comments it likes. Please be patient if your comment which includes HTML is not displayed immediately. I will ensure it gets published the next time I check e-mail.
