Tuesday December 28, 2004 Are Sys-Con Just Trolls?
I just read a post by Sys-Con (which I'll not point to as their ad-laden style is offensive) who obviously have a serious problem because they are reporting as new news excellent comments my friend Bruno Souza made back in November in a JavaLobby thread responding to Onno Kluyt's question "what could you do with an open source Java that you can't do now". Mid-November news making the press in late December? Looks like it's time Sys-Con shut up shop and left news to the bloggers they copy.
Having said all that, I do agree with Bruno. The process that Apache, Sun and the JCP have been conducting for the last few years removing the unintentional obstacles to open source re-implementations of Java specifications needs finessing and finishing. It's not about Sun releasing an open source JRE (Bruno and Javali will do that) - it's about making sure others can do so more easily, including Sun if they chose to.
