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."

    Sun just wants control of the IDE market, that's all. Eclipse should ignore it as if it's not even happening. That's how significant it is.
