Java's New G1 Collector Not For-Pay After All

Posted by kdawson on from the trial-balloon-popped dept.

An anonymous reader writes "As a follow-up to our previous discussion, Sun appears to have quietly edited the Java 6u14 release notes language to say now: 'G1 is available as early access in this release, please try it and give us feedback. Usage in production settings without a Java SE for Business support contract is not recommended.' So does this mean it was all one huge typo? Or was Oracle/Sun tentatively testing the waters to see the community's reaction? In either case it's nice to see Java's back on the right path."

    Did kdawson even read the article before writing the summary? I don't see anything in the article about Java becoming more like Haskell!

    A kdawson article that totally blew something out of proportion? What a shock!
