Apache on participation in the JCP

The Apache Software Foundation board has issued a statement on its participation in the Java Community process. In particular, the organization is getting increasingly frustrated with its inability to gain access to the TCK test kit. "The ASF will terminate its relationship with the JCP if our rights as implementers of Java specifications are not upheld by the JCP Executive Committee to the limits of the EC's ability. The lack of active, strong and clear enforcement of those rights implies that the JSPA agreements are worthless, confirming that JCP specifications are nothing more than proprietary documentation."
