Sun Lowers Barriers to Open-Source Java

Posted by Zonk on Friday August 10, 2007 @03:18AM from the coffee-making-made-easy dept.

Shyane writes "Sun Microsystems is making it easier for open-source programmers to ensure their Java versions meet the company's compatibility requirements, but the deal extends only to those involved in Sun's own open-source Java project. The program grants access to its Java Technology Compatibility Kit to anyone with an open-source Java project that is based substantially on Sun's open-source Java software and governed by the GPL. Programmers need access to the test kit to prove that a project is in compliance with the Java specification. Projects that pass Sun's compatibility kit tests also can use the official Java logos for free."

When a Java program I compiled and ran on my computer doesnt work but compiles and runs on someone elses perfectly, there is something wrong.

HINT: Its not the computers.
