Sun still not answering the call to open source Java
Have you heard? Sun Microsystems is open sourcing Java.
"I think it's not a question of whether, it's a question of how," Rich Green, Sun's vice president of software, said at last week's 2006 JavaOne Conference. Cheers all around.
Scratch that. Truthfully, there were no champagne corks popped here at the InfoWorld offices following Sun's announcement. This is nothing more than the same equivocation we've heard again and again. The biggest question of all remains: When will it happen? And to that question there is still no answer.
So why does Sun keep dragging its feet? I suspect the answer could be in your pocket right now.
