Could Java EE be headed for a split from Oracle?
Not all is well at Oracle headquarters according to reports.
The main reason behind this split according to Java EE advocates is Oracles perceived disinterest in the platform.
Java EE 8 with HTTP 2.0 and HTML5 support is reportedly being readied for June 2017 release.
But the Java EE advocates say that Oracle will miss this date.
Red Hat and IBM have joined in as contributors to MicroProfile.io.
It is not a Java fork!
Both Java EE Guardians and MicroProfile disagree that their efforts are aimed at creating a fork.
What can be done is re-create APIs from scratch without using any of the existing Java EE APIs.
Thats both hard and very regrettable because Java EE APIs are so pervasive.
A fork is a strong word.
I wouldnt use the word fork,Rich Sharples from Red Hat says.
