Larry Ellison -- Oracle
OpenWorld - 10-5-2011 on Youtube.
Your comments are consistent with the
tenor of Larry's presentation. Oracle has a lot of skin in the Java game and
the world is moving fast. He just doesn't sound comfortable doing this
presentation and that may be speaking volumes for the intense pressure that even
the best IT businesses feel to stay relevant. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

The only reason to buy Sun, from the perspective of "control" of Java
is actually the overwhelming (and unfair) veto power Sun has on the JCP. Other
than that Oracle had no need for Sun. They already have their own set of
implementations of both the JVM and the class libraries. The language was free
to use. There's no shortage of Java experts around to employ. Like all the major
players who were using Java, Oracle was already in the JCP, influencing the
future direction of Java. From the perspective of controlling Java, when Oracle
bought Sun, it wasn't for controlling Java software (which they already owned
implementations of), or controlling the Java language (it's not that hard to
extend using their own class library), it was for almost absolute control of the
JCP.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
