IBM: Open Java Process isn't same as open code (IT Manager's Journal)

[Posted March 18, 2004 by cook]

IT Manager's Journal looks at efforts by IBM to get Sun to open up Java. " "The JCP is inching toward something, little by little, by little by little," Dr. Bob Sutor, IBM's director of Websphere infrastructure told Open Enterprise Trends. "What we're trying to do is talk about the real fundamental end point here. Java is 8 or 9 years old now; it's mature. Now, we want to discuss with Sun about how we can move to a point where there is an official Open Source Java implementation [of Java]. IBM sent Sun a letter last month asking for a 1-on-1 meeting to discuss a roadmap for opening up Java code."
