How Oracle’s business as usual is threatening to kill Java
Found on Ars Technica on Friday, 01 July 2016
It's a familiar pattern for open source projects that have become the property of Oracle. It started with OpenSolaris and continued with OpenOffice.org. And this time, it's happening to Java—more specifically to Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE), the server-side Java technology that is part of hundreds of thousands of Internet and business applications.
Given Oracle's track record with open source projects—more specifically, the trail of dead or forked projects the company has left in its wake—there has been ample reason for concern about Java.
Oracle kills everything. In this case, it's nothing really to cry about though.
