'We broke a few things and will continue to do so... in a careful way' – Oracle's Reinhold on Java renovation work

HmmmYes

Slightly more complex.

Official java will bleed you dry.

Theres the open java thang - icedtea or whatever.

But you are on your own. Last time i looked oracle did not ship the regression test.

If youve made a sigificant investment in java then youve 3 choices

1- Be bled dry by oracle. Youll pay each time larry has a shit.

2 - Invest in your own java development team - produce your own regression tests for jdk and your apps. A massive commitment because if java is anything its a complex mess.

3- port everything away.

Pick one now.
