Back then Sun had the utopic dream of having 'develop once - run anywhere', which the not 100% compatible Microsoft implementation prevented.<br /><br />The most ironic thing in the whole story is who was the leader of the Java team back then - it was Eric Schmidt, currently Executive Chairman at google. So this guy has led the armies on both sides of the Java wars!<br /><br />About the second point (Java becoming less relevant on mobile platforms) - it's not even ironic, it's plain sad. Sun/Oracle never cared to support an alternative implementation and compiler for iOS and not only that but they seem to have a problem with Java working on Android.Stefan Kiryazovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13985053081243453887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8858269006099754533.post-53273104351647036812011-09-28T09:21:44.547-07:002011-09-28T09:21:44.547-07:00The community promise covers only full implemntati...The community promise covers only full implemntations of one of the .NET profiles. You can have full implementations with additions. This is basically MS's way of saying "as long as our code runs on your platform we're OK with it because we're confident we'll have a better implementation" Java's license allows everyone to implement JVM but it has to be full implementation with no additions. This license is a result of what MS tried to do with Java (and got sued and lost and created .NET) namely extend it in a way that makes it better than SUN's Java. They were hijaking the platform and when SUN open sourced Java they did it in a way that would protect them from hijacking like the one that MS tried. When they implemented Dalvik Google violated both rules. Their implementation of Java does not fully implement any of the Java editions and they've added a lot of Android specific stuff. This is why they will have to pay A LOT if they don't manage to prove that the patents are invalid. Anyway they are thieves.<br /><br />BTW it is ironic that with MonoTouch .NET actually works on more (important) platforms than Java because Java does not work on iPhone (and WP7 but it is not important yet)Stilgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12728026428525633767noreply@blogger.com
