What does the future hold for the Java Community Process (JCP)?
The Java Community Process, or JCP, was created by Sun as the standards setting body for the Java language, libraries, and runtime. From 1998 to 2009, Sun ruled the JCP with an iron fist, but now that Oracle is calling the shots that will inevitably be changing. In this Q&A with Tony de la Lama from Embarcadero Technologies, he considers the future of Java and the JCP. Tony was a JCP founding executive committee member from 2000-2003, and used to be the general manager of Borland's Java business, so he has an interesting take on the issue.
