The JCP is really abandoning Java’s base. Very hard problems are getting marginally easier to solve, but easy problems are getting much harder.”—Bruce Tate “Open source implementations are leading the development process, and the JCP is only defining norms.”—Laurent Ploix “If speaking of purely innovations, I would say open source. Open source is quick to respond when there is a hole that needs to be filled. The JCP is way too slow right now to keep up with the industry.”—Michael Pilone” “Most innovations have come through the JCP model.
