Seems like this post took a lot of words but did not say much of anything.

But what words would Oracle use?

'We at Oracle know that past actions of ours and Sun's has broken the JCP. We now will openly ignore that and continue on our merrily little way.'..seems the same words they used except mine is more concise

"a new version of the JCP Process document and a formalized Executive Committee Members' Guide and is expected to be completed and approved within about six months."

What an irony. It will take them half an year to only come up with a process on how to modify the language, when the creators of languages like Go, Clojure, etc can modify a substantial part of their respective language during this time frame.

It is still less time than is required for a new draft spec for C++ to come out of the language committee.

What are the odds that the new process comes out before Java 7?

More openwashing. It looks like they're fixing problems other than the one that people care about. Also, Oracle has already demonstrated that they will ignore the JCP whenever it disagrees with their interest, so what's the point of revising it?

<sigh> Let the Oracle-bashing commence. Does anyone seriously assert that any of the changes described in this post are not improvements to the current process?
