[Eclipse Notes] If you are interested in Java, sun, netbeans, and eclipse, check eclipse's attitude towards sun.

Thanks for the link provided by Kukoo. In this EWeek report, Mike milinkovich, executive ctor of the eclipse Foundation, described the eclipse camp's mentality towards sun as follows: "We're not focused on hurting them; we're focused on helping us. "-Our attention is not about how to hurt them, but about how to help ourselves.I think this is a good explanation of Eclipse's attitude towards sun.

Recently, I have seen too many quarrels about netbeans and eclipse. Many of them are the supporters of netbeans who are certain to have some sympathy for the hard work of the netbeans project team or who really like to use netbeans, point out what is wrong with eclipse, and how good is netbeans. But wake up. I think the whole thing is that the netbeans camp too much regards eclipse as a competitor and a reference object, while eclipse does not seem to care too much and has a bigger goal. The comparison between the two platforms and the competition between the two platforms and the IDE is self-evident.

Some experts have analyzed Sun's open-source strategy, saying that sun just wants to getCommunitySupport and other benefits, rather than making too many contributions and sacrifices. These have been the relatively strict release mechanism adopted by Sun to JDK/JRE in recent years, and the provision of SolarisSource codeControl of JCP, cooperation with Microsoft, and recent harmony disputes can all be well proven. What is sun thinking? Maybe from Sun's perspective, they have enough reason to do so. Let's leave it alone.

Time will prove everything.
