You wrote than 80% of OpenJDK was written by Oracle employees. That’s patently untrue. Most of OpenJDK was written by Sun employees before Oracle bought Sun.

Your link doesn’t change any of that nor your clearly condescending comment before. You are perfectly aware of the fact by the way and you know exactly what I meant so I don’t really understand the game you are playing.

Oracle can claim Sun contribution as their own as much as they want. It doesn’t change the fact that you would have to be insane to touch anything they do now that it’s Oracle property.

What is pathetic is the quality of your answers, who do you think has written the code between Java 6 and Java 24?

I wonder what magic pixie dust has been writing Java code since 2013, those Sun employees have been working really hard on their ghost offices, surrounded by Oracle daemons, down in the dungeons.

I am playing the FACTS game.

There is no facts game. I am in full agreement with you that Oracle maintains Java nowadays and writes most of the modern code in it. It remains originally a Sun product, a Sun initiative and most of the JVM historical code has been written by Sun. I have little interest in going to actually look in how many lines are from then and how many are new. It wouldn’t substantially change the nature of my argument anyway.

You are free to pretend that Oracle is a great steward of the Java ecosystem if you want or that they had a point in the trial they so brilliantly lost.

I’m free to say I vehemently disagree and perfectly understand why Google would rather stay far away.

I would rather prefer you didn’t insult me however but you do you.

		Oracle has been a fantastic steward of Java. I don’t think Java would exist or still be popular without them. Java is in its best state it’s been in decades.
