Java Lawsuit Fallout
Oracle's suit against Google has had one huge side effect: Google is pulling out of Java One:
Citing concerns about Oracle's lawsuit against it, Google said Friday it cannot participate in the upcoming JavaOne conference. The Oracle-sponsored JavaOne conference, formerly a Sun Microsystems event, is being held in San Francisco the week of September 19.
This whole think could lead to exactly the sort of fragmentation in Java that Oracle claims it doesn't want to see. It should be interesting to watch from the outside.
