Sun mulls next Java moves

摘要

As sun microsystems pon-ders its next steps on the road to open-sourcing Java, it is acutely aware of the concern among developers and customers that compatibility be maintained going forward. "Developers tell us that while open-sourcing Java would be nice, they don't want us to rush the process and [not maintain compatibility]. So we will watch that closely," said Rich Green, executive vice president for software at Sun, during an interview with eWEEK at the annual Java-One conference here on May 16. At the conference, Sun said taking Java open source is a matter of how, not when.
