Oracle no longer work on the development of Java. Again, a user does Association of allegations against Oracle.
Once again, an appeal is not an Oracle, to hinder the development of Java. The Java User Groups e. V. (audio slideshow) Oracle calls currently, the project is Java EE 8 “quickly” to take it forward.
In a communication from the audio slideshow, it says: “Although Oracle as a member of the Java Community Process (JCP) is for the development of Java EE is responsible, has set the company since November 2015 his collaboration on the project. Customers, consider the Java EE as a strategic project, is a great Worry.”
A few weeks ago, Oracle had asked for the fall for more information in views. Oracle had not reacted to criticism that Oracle onset in a degree sufficient for the development of Java.
The consequence was, that to be closed, some of the developers and users of the group of the Java EE Guardians together. This propose, among other things, that Oracle makes the Code as an Open Source and freely available under this requirement swipe with an Online Petition. The Java EE Guardians have also noted the participation of the Oracle at the development since 2015, has developed.

Markus Eisele, Deputy head of the DOAG Java Community now talking of a “complete standstill”. Eisele speaks of several Alternatives for the future of Java EE, but none of them seems to have really ideal. After all, in July, an Oracle spokesman had put new Features in view.
“Oracle is behind Java and has supported a very well – defined Proposal for the next Version of the Java EE specification-Java EE , the developers Create new applications, Micro-Services on large distributed machines and Container-based environments in the Cloud,” said Oracle spokesman Mike Moeller in an Interview with the industry a service, “The Register”.

“No matter what solution Oracle conjures up on the JavaOne out of the hat, ultimately, in any case, the JCP, and the Community snubbed,” explains Markus Karg of the Java User Group gold city (JUG PF). Oracle think there is no rules of the JCP holds and “pushes the world to its interests, without any further discussion or vote.” Experts would be heard no more. Karg seems to be already convinced that for Oracle, the decision not to develop Java continue to stand firm for years.
A further possibility for the development of Java EE in the Form of a fork. But this Option is to the disadvantage of the Community, and users connected.
In addition, Thomas Kurian, Oracle President of product development had been, a few days ago in an Interview, the goals of Oracle for Java EE is known. However, does not want to give Karg satisfied. “These targets are already known for years, but so far not in fact been implemented. What we need immediately have the appropriate JSRs, schedules, Early Drafts, etc.”
Tobias Naughty, Deputy Chairman of the management Board of the audio slideshow of the provider, even a kind of Ultimatum: “If Oracle does not provide for the JavaOne immediately sufficient resources for the JCP and the JSRs, then the Community will put no more trust in Oracle and other Alternatives.”
For Naughty this means that Oracle will forgive the opportunity to shape the future of Java EE, and thus a possible Basis for Cloud services.
