OpenJDK Binary

Sat Feb 11 03:33:59 UTC 2012

thx john,

yup, you also work on this ;)

i think OpenJDK will become center of new Java, rather the Oracle Java SDK
from OTN as default platform.

I like this, because OpenJDK is OpenSource, good for my program here
(education network). the core can be learn as education also.

the binary is the missing thing, and i believe the communty work also.. and
next phase is how the openjdk will keep continue support people, esp after
oracle said end of life, becuase openjdk doesnt have relation with oracle
in this case..

i think that Oracle want the JSDK more business, $$$... rather the current
SDK that develop by Sun.

and how "we" the JUG leader "talk" and "explain" inside our JUG Program.
