Java Evangelist Leaves Sun After MS Settlement

Posted by simoniker on from the shifting-into-shade dept.

aeoo writes "The Register says that Rich Green, the vice president of developer platforms and the major public voice for Java is 'quitting Sun in disgust' due to the recent settlement between Sun and Microsoft. The article hints that there may be more to follow. On the other hand, there is an article at eWeek with a different slant, saying that Rich Green tendered his resignation prior to the settlement. What impact, if any, will this have on open sourcing Java? It looks like Sun is still considering it."

    I frequently want to flag messages Not-Funny. I have been using Redundant as a poor substitute. But it would really be much better if I could flag them as Not-Funny.
