Opening Up Java EE: Panel Discussion with Oracle, IBM, Red Hat, and the Eclipse Foundation
summary
Oracle moves Java EE 8 code and GlassFish into a new Eclipse top-level project called Eclipse Enterprise for Java (EE4J), contributing GlassFish 5 / Java EE 8 sources and making the open-source TCKs available so anyone can run compliance tests. The charter aims for transition early next year with a ratification milestone on Oct 23; work starts immediately to produce a Java EE 8 compatible reference implementation under an Eclipse license. Governance, funding, and a faster, community-driven spec process are promised, with IBM, Red Hat, Tomitribe and others as initial sponsors.
