Industry News JavaOne 2006: Java To Be Open-Sourced...Just Not Quite Yet
Open-Sourcing Java Is On the Sun Agenda; Just Not Now
By: Open Source News
May. 16, 2006 08:30 AM
In the meantime, there are carefully coordinated moves afoot to ensure that the industry in no way doubts Sun's open-source pedigree. A "timeline" is in circulation pinpointing the company's major open source initiatives since 1999, from JSP & Servlets (part of Tomcat) and Jini back then to DReaM-CAS and Sun Java Studio Enterprise UML in 2006. "While teasing zealots with the notion of open source Java, Sun is emphasizing the importance of compatibility and the value of the Java brand. These important aspects of Java seem foreign to open source supporters."Meantime in the blogosphere, a world Jonathan Schwartz inhabits prominently, blogger Weiqi Gao yesterday pronounced: "I think Sun will open source Java. If not tomorrow, then within this year."Which sounds all well and good until one reads what Weiqi Gao goes on to write: "If they don't, I'll give up Java altogether and become a Ruby-on-Rails fanatic."So the question being asked already at this year's JavaOne is, will the clock run out on Sun? Will, in other words, the goodwill of the Java and the Open Source communities be simply over-stretched by the notion raised at yesterday's NetBeans Day, which seems to be - according to Rich Green who has the all-important role in this decision - that Sun is calling for more developers to contribute, and more developers as individuals to get involved in the Java Community Process, and only then if the community involvement seems to "go well," whatever that means exactly, would Java be open-sourced. The developer community is left wondering quite how this week's approach squares with Schwartz's contention, when he was in the job to which he's now appointed Green, that "if you're really committed to interoperability and choice for consumers, you must deliver your code into the market place" and/or his assertion last November that "Every product at Sun will at some point be free or open sourced. Every one."

Jonathan Schwartz (pictured here at last year's JavaOne) will stand up today in the Moscone Center in San Francisco today and deliver his first keynote address as Sun's President & CEO. Will Sun announce the open-sourcing of Java? The answer, increasingly clearly, is "Yes...and no."
