Apache Jakarta as a lab to hatch future JCP java standards Backing away from the Java Community Process about a few java trends. Matt Liotta of Montara Software, a San Francisco-based organization, agrees. “Fewer and fewer people are involving themselves directly with JCP,” Liotta said. “Instead, they are hooking up with groups like Apache and getting their wares to become de facto standards. Later, Apache pushes these implementations into the JCP under its own name.” I don't think it is necessary a bad thing. After 7 years java becomes more mature, so the process to standardize it is more bureaucratic. Open source, and in the case of java, Apache Jakarta, finds a new role in this more mature ecosystem: be the lab and workspace for individuals to try out new ideas make new de facto standards emerge push them to the JCP with Apache's influence   11:11:38 AM Google It!      comment []
