Sun to open source Java

SAN FRANCISCO -- Sun Microsystems Inc. at its JavaOne conference today announced plans to open source Java, but said before it does so company officials have to be certain the move won't lead to diverging paths in the code.

Do you think it is a good thing or bad?

It may be a good thing. I doubt that SUN will allow users to actually change and redistribute the source code though.

There could be some interesting developments with this though.

This is HUGE news!
Is this really true or just speculation at this point?

I dont know if its a good idea really.. though I can see alot of different Java spin off's being developed.
