IBM Joins OpenJDK IBM and Oracle are going to work more closely together on Java, starting with IBM joining the OpenJDK project. IBM engineers will soon be working directly alongside Oracle engineers, as well as many other contributors, on the Java SE Platform reference implementation—starting with JDK 7. Chief Architect Mark Reinhold commented, "It's a big step towards the model I'd envisioned as perfection; multiple organizations cooperating on the platform in a common code base." Good news, indeed. -The Oracle Technology Network Team (See Team Blog)
