At the same time, Delabassee assured Oracle’s customers that “Oracle will continue to support existing Java EE licensees, including licensees moving to Java EE 8. Oracle also intends to continue to support its existing WebLogic Server versions, and to support Java EE 8 in a future WebLogic Server version.
Oracle’s Java EE partners are pleased with this move. Mike Milinkovich, the Eclipse Foundation’s long time executive director, wrote “As enterprises move to a more cloud-centric model, it is clear that Java EE requires a more rapid pace of innovation. The open-source model has been shown time and again to be the most successful way to innovate in today’s world.”
Red Hat’s senior principal product manager John Clingan added, “While there is a lot of detail to flesh out, Red Hat is optimistic and applauds Oracle’s decision to advance Java EE under an open and collaborative community. Red Hat looks forward to working with Oracle and the broader Java and Eclipse MicroProfile communities to help align efforts to drive enterprise Java forward.”
Interesting times are ahead for Java EE users and developers.
