Oh, so the OSGi/JSR 277 blowup that resulted in Sun employees dropping by on bloggers isn’t over, not by a long shot. The Eclipse Foundation’s Ian Skerrett called Sun’s handling of JSR 277 a “mockery” of the JCP, and charged that “for all Sun’s executive-speak about being a hip open company, they continue to behave like an old fashion hardware vendor.” If you haven’t been paying attention, the origin of all this brouhaha has was Stanley Ho’s suggestion that version numbers for the Java Module System use four numbers instead of three, much to the OSGi Alliance’s annoyance. Perhaps I’m not smart enough to figure out exactly how important that numbering system is, but it seems to me that this fight has quickly become an attempt to force Sun to be as “open” as it claims to be.
