Oracle considers letting go of Java EE

Oracle has announcedthat it is considering stepping back from management of the Java EnterpriseEdition. "We are discussing how we can improve the Java EEdevelopment process following the delivery of Java EE 8. We believe thatmoving Java EE technologies including reference implementations and testcompatibility kit to an open source foundation may be the right next step,in order to adopt more agile processes, implement more flexible licensing,and change the governance process. We plan on exploring this possibilitywith the community, our licensees and several candidate foundations to seeif we can move Java EE forward in this direction."
