Since Java 7 is comming I was wondering how much time it would take to have the IBM JVM running Java 7 on IBM i systems? (AS400)
I was searching IBM’s site to find some roadmap but didn’t find anything yet.
Do you have past experience on the older java release?
IBM cannot even start development until the Java Community Process has published the Java 7 specification. And so far, Oracle hasn’t even started the specification process. In fact, there isn’t even a roadmap for when the specification process might start.
Also, some of Oracle’s competitors fear that Oracle might not start the specification process until after they have released a final version of JDK7, thus giving Oracle a 1–3 year head start. (Actually, it was Oracle who accused Sun of that tactic. In general, Oracle sided with IBM and Apache against Sun in the quest for more democracy, transparency and fairness in the JCP. It remains to be seen how committed they are now that they are the ones benefiting from the broken process.)
