Sun and Eclipse Squabble

Posted by michael on from the quit-blocking-my-light dept.

gbjbaanb writes "CNET news is reporting on a potential spat between Sun and Eclipse: 'Sun Microsystems has sent a letter to members of Eclipse, urging the increasingly influential open-source project to unify rather than fragment the Java-based development tool market.' Although Sun's letter says it wants interoperability, and a 'broad base' for java tools, it then insists Eclipse should push to be a 'unifying force for Java technology'. Competing tools is a good thing, but it sounds like Sun just wants everything to work its way."

    Aren't they a has-been workstation maker that lost coolness to Apple OSX and wide spread use to Linux? Poor guys... they never made any money off this thing.. just like parents thinking they know what's best for their child, it's moved out and has lots of friends and never calls home.

      * sigh * I said lost coolness, and Linux for widespread use. Don't get me wrong, I imagine with wit as biting as yours you pre-mature ejacultae your insults happens often. To refute the 70+ CPU on one system issue, and even if it is necessary, would be pointless, because all you really wanted do was talk about skinny 14 year old asses with no experience. Is this a slashdot posting or your ad on Match.com?
