Sun: Don't Believe the Rumor Mill
SunMink on June 28, 2006
In this blog post, Sun Microsystems' Chief Open Source Officer Simon Phipps takes the media to task for taking a comment made at the Open Source Business Conference in London (that open source Java would take months rather than years to release) out of context and reporting that the open source version of the popular programming language will arrive in "mere months." We confess, we fell for it, too. What he meant, he clarifies here, is that the process will not take as long for Java ("double-digit months," according to Phipps) as it did for Solaris (five years). The key to a successful open source release, he says, is to maintain Java's compatibility with other programs.
