Java To Be Opened For Christmas?

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the ho-ho-ho dept.

MBCook writes "At the Oracle OpenWorld conference, Sun's CEO Jonathan Schwartz announced on Wednesday morning that Java would be opened within 30-60 days, which would would mean about Christmas Day at the latest. Sun first announced they would do this back in May at JavaOne but didn't give a date. We've seen rumblings before on this topic. Schwartz also commented on the companies Sun Fire servers, Sun's relationship with Oracle, and general trends."

    I'd settle for a Java that doesn't make my machine run slower than a frozen slug.

    30-60 days

    The time difference depends on whether or not the garbage collector runs during that time.

    We need one less programming language, that's for certain.
    OK...pick either VB or PHP to hit the dumper. And then everybody who think's he's a programmer who knows only the one that gets GCed.
