Lesser Java Dependency

Time for Java devs to think through deeply and have some backup language instead of purely just Java.

Quality of Java installers

Hi decided to get a 64 bit "bin" extension installer for Linux installation of JDK 6 u 27 and when I executed it, this is what it gave ...........

Unpacking...
Checksumming...
Extracting...
./install.sfx.9113: 1: ELF : not found
./install.sfx.9113: 2: Syntax error: ")" unexpected
Failed to extract the files.  Please refer to the Troubleshooting section of
the Installation Instructions on the download page for more information.

And a file Java installer generated .....

What is that messed up file above that the Java installer generated !!??

This is the quality of Java from Oracle. Oracle have been screwing up Java badly for so many steps since it took over Java by "eating up" Sun Microsystem.

Oracle..... HOW THE HELL ARE YOU GONNA EXPECT US JAVA DEVELOPERS TO DEVELOP JAVA !!??

Broken Java installers for JDK 6u27 (64 bit), screwed up Java 7 features and possibly Java 8, undemocratic on the JCP board....

Oracle.... HOW ELSE DO YOU EXPECT US JAVA DEVS TO USE JAVA YOU PROVIDE !!??

Java Governance in Shambles

It is sad to see Oracle misusing, abusing and not even giving Java a second thought and shipped a Java 7 out of their doors knowing of a major bug in it.

The governance of Java in the hands of Oracles only causes JAVA TO FALL INTO SHAMBLES !!!

As a developer using mainly Java, I am sad to see how Java is treated. Oracle refused to give-in and heed the community and soon Java simply becomes more badly governed and more troubles would arise from it.

A good backup for any developer / programmer is to have a backup language in an event your main language simply sucks (Java for my case.... and I am now learning abit of other languages to pick a backup language to move over abit).

A Year of Bad Karma from Oracle

A year after Sun Microsystem was eaten by the always hungry corporate big brother called Oracle, nothing but crap spills from them, blackening the legacy of Sun.

We do not need much more elaboration to know the numerous bad karma done by Oracle.

Hate Oracle

The above is good enough to piss us developers into hating Oracle like poison. How can Oracle's personal be so rude as quoted from Kohsuke's blog from the above link:

When the representative of Oracle says it to my face that I should just go find something else to work on, or that I need to immediately stop making [infrastructure] changes or the next email I will receive will be from their lawyers, or when you hear him describe me as a hurdle to the community, I think writing on the wall is pretty clear to me.

I think developers should try to fork off whatever projects Oracle would want to kill and then stir off and far away from the directions Oracle is heading to avoid anymore head-on collisions, getting ourselves into unnecessary lawsuits and legal battles.

I HATE ORACLE
