Java OpenSource



That's it, the road to be free ...

Sun has launched it's surprise, and let Java to be totally "Open Source", yes of course that was from some months, but I'll talk about just it's communities.

First I will talk about the Open Source idea at all, the open source system mean to be:
1- Source design available to any group or individual, to redevelop and redistribute it.
2- The product available for any one to share his ideas, and share in maintaining it.
3- Any one can start a new Open Source product and invite people to share on it.
4- the Software Products -of course- have to be free software.

And that of course is under control from the GNU Corporation, it give the GPL (GNU Public License) to any one produced an open source system, and save his rights from any illegal use.

The OpenSource term not just for softwares, it's a surprise when you hear that Sun let their Processor design to be OpenSource, it's the UltraSparc.

So, lets back to our main topic, that Sun said about it "don't be afraid to Steal Our Code", Sun has launched 3 communities for java OpenSource technologies, OpenJDK for J2SE, GlassFish for J2EE, and Mobile & Embedded for J2ME.

OpenJDK: is the way that you could put your idea on the Java main core technology.
sharing in the OpenJDK, mean sharing in producing the most powerful technology on programing nowadays.



GlassFish: The GlassFish open-source community collaborates on developing the Java EE Reference Implementation, it's the big enterprise world, making business easy and scalable.

Mobile & Embedded: think about the future, when it be mobiled, that's the future, and every one can now joining on developing his future.

So let's feel more free, they did it ...
