FAQ : Java FAQ - Java SE (JDK) Specifics
- What is the OpenJDK Community?
- What components of the JDK software have been open sourced?
- Is the entire OpenJDK code base under the GPL?
- When will you finish clearing encumbrances? What is the timeline?
- Will Sun continue distributing its commercial implementation of the JDK?
- Will Sun's commercial JDK releases be built from the open-source code?
- Are you open sourcing the Java language or the Java SE platform specifications?
- Which version of the JDK do these components come from? Are you open sourcing the latest code?
- So what about JDK 6?
- The OpenJDK code base is huge! How do I know what each component does, and where to begin?
- Where do developers go to participate in implementing these JDK components?
- How can I get involved?
- How is the governance model for the OpenJDK projects evolving?
- Isn't the IGB supposed to have created the new Constitution over the course of the last 12 months? Is there a problem?
- With the JDK nearly completely available under the GPL, and working implementations based on OpenJDK code on the horizon, both the promise and peril to compatibility of an open-source Java platform are upon us. How will Sun make the JCK (the Java SE TCK) available, and provide access to the "Java Compatible" brand?
