Polls: Oracle, IBM, OpenJDK; Java on Mac
According to the latest java.net poll, the Java community is reacting positively to the news that IBM will be collaborating with Oracle on the OpenJDK project. A total of 267 votes were cast in the poll, which ran for the past week. Here is the actual poll question and the results:
What's your view of the news that Oracle and IBM will collaborate in the OpenJDK project?
18% (48 votes) - It's the best Java news I've heard in a long time
30% (81 votes) - It's definitely positive
34% (90 votes) - We'll see how it works out
2% (6 votes) - Makes no difference
10% (27 votes) - I consider it a negative development
4% (10 votes) - I don't know
2% (5 votes) - Other
Summing the first three options tells us that 82% of the voters think or hope that IBM collaboration in OpenJDK will produce positive results. Only 10% of the voters consider the collaboration to have a downside (unfortunately, no one took the time to post a comment describing the downsides they see).
