Java: One Step Closer To Open Source

Ritalin16 writes "Sun Microsystems on Monday intends to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its Java programming language by sharing the proprietary source code for several key Java applications used by corporate customers. Sun officials believe that by making the source codes open to developers, they will spur more involvement and use of Java-based applications."

Indeed the cynical might just see this as a way for Sun to look open without having to unlock anything important in any useful way whatsoever (yes, I think that the OpenSolaris licence was designed to exclude).

Wake me when Sun
a) stops changing their mind on every subject every day and
b) actually open sources anything related to the actual language.
