Oracle Kills Commercial Support For GlassFish: Was It Inevitable?

An anonymous reader writes "Oracle acquired GlassFish when it acquired Sun Microsystems, and now — like OpenSolaris and OpenOffice — the company has announced it will no longer support a commercial version of the product. Mike Milinkovich, executive director of the Eclipse Foundation. said in an interview the decision wasn't exactly a surprise: "The only company that was putting any real investment in GlassFish was Oracle," Milinkovich said. "Nobody else was really stepping up to the plate to help. If you never contributed anything to it, you can't complain when something like this happens." An update to the open source version is still planned for 2014." GlassFish is an open source application server.

It's sounds like you never used it, right?
even the integration solutions that serves as the backbone of cloud based gaming platforms use it. maybe you're the kind of people that think that Java is slow? Or not scalable enough? (Close dot net).

Java is a monster which was created to boost RAM sales.
