Java Libre est Arrivée

The culmination of 6 months of intense effort by Sun Microsystems has led to open source implementations of Java Technology:

Note that those sites will be available in only a couple hours. Note too that Sun's implementation of Java EE was already open source (but now it has an additional license), key initial components of the Java SE implementation are now available (the remainder of the JDK to follow soon in 2007) and a complete implementation of Java ME is now open source.

Note also that currently there are a few code encumbrances around the remaining parts of the JDK class library which we are hoping we can complete with community help (details to follow).

It is my sincere hope that Sun will approach the suggestions of the community with humility as we work out the governance and technical details to make the OpenJDK project a success. Thank you for your patience!

Now Java is Free to go Everywhere!
