Ian Skerrett, director of marketing at the Eclipse Foundation, has accused Sun of a lack of openness and using "backroom tactics" to push for a compromise between the OSGi standard and the Sun-sponsored Java Specification Request (JSR) 277.

IBM (Eclipse) vs. SUN - a fight who controls the Java platform.

Yeah, last time Sun listened to IBM and Oracle we got EJB.

The referenced article was a personal blog entry, not the official position of the Eclipse Foundation.

Now that Java is open source, shouldn't "the community" control the platform?
cbang replied ago:
Java will never be ever be truly open source unless someone forks it. Sun holds a huge investment in it (look at their Nasdaq ticker) and will keep controlling it through the JCP (where Sun maintains veto vote).
mantrid replied ago:
OSGi is gaining attention these days because people see its value, if Sun continues on tweaking good stuff they will eventually breake it. The result will be dead JSR that no one uses.
