IBM Java Defection Leaves Apache Sourcers Shellshocked Staunch Supporter No More by Gavin Clarke in San Francisco Posted in Developer, 19Th October 2010 08:40 GMT IBM Java defection leaves Apache sourcers shellshocked Staunch supporter no more By Gavin Clarke in San Francisco Posted in Developer, 19th October 2010 08:40 GMT On October 11, IBM announced its decision to junk Apache Harmony, an open source Java implementation of Java, and throw in its lot with Oracle's Open JDK. To say that the Apache Software Foundation was shocked is an understatement. IBM says it still loves Apache despite suddenly dumping Project Harmony after five years - but Apache isn't buying it An IBM spokesperson told The Reg that IBM wants to be a "strong" contributor to the Apache Software Foundation (ASF) and that it will work with Harmony to "transition to OpenJDK". The spokesperson did not say how or when transition would happen. IBM can say what it likes it seems, but the company can no longer be trusted, so far as the ASF is concerned. ASF president Jim Jagielski told The Reg that he has not heard anything at all from IBM about transitioning the Harmony code or the community to OpenJDK. He said it would be "nice" if IBM had discussed its plans with the Apache board, before pulling the rug from beneath their feet. The ASF was caught off guard by the news on October 11 that IBM was withdrawing from Harmony and concentrating on OpenJDK, and even IBM's own Apache Project Management Committee chairman unaware of what was coming. Left hand, right hand IBM is not under any actual obligation to consult the board, under the rules of the ASF. And the OpenJDK decision seems to have been taken speedily and at a high level between IBM and Oracle, and disseminated on a need to know basis - judging by what The Reg has learned of events over at Java's governing body - the Java Community Process (JCP). IBM and ASF are JCP members along with 32 other companies and individuals including Oracle. 1 From www.theregister.co.uk/2010/10/19/apache_does_not_trust_ibm/ 11 April 2011 Reg sources tell us that IBM's own representative at a JCP meeting in Bonn, Germany, the week prior to the news breaking, had also been unaware of what was coming. At the meeting, IBM's rep was busy telling Oracle that IBM would vote against proposals the database giant had made to reform the JCP. "IBM wanted to see significant changes to the way the JCP works," a source close to the JCP told The Reg. Apache no longer believes the group can rely on IBM's support inside the JCP, according to Jagielski. IBM's OpenJDK move has "changed the landscape as far as a people that ASF thought we could depend on as for as backing us up in the JCP," he told The Reg. "This to me is an indication that IBM for whatever reason most probably will not be that staunch of a supporter of our point of view as they have been." Jagielski said ASF is pragmatic, and IBM probably took a hard decision that was in the best interests of the company's shareholders. The cooling of relations between IBM and Apache cannot be understated. The pair have co-operated and collaborated for more than a decade, and IBMers staff many other projects including ASF's signature server. IBM has helped push Apache towards web domination throughout the 2000s thanks to its hardware and software and engineering help. IBM joined Project Harmony in 2005, shortly after it launched, out of frustration with Sun Microsystems' foot-dragging on open sourcing of Java. When Sun released Java under the GPL a year later, IBM criticized Sun for not releasing Java to Harmony. IBM went on to boost Harmony with people and code, and in summer 2009 IBM's vice president of WebSphere Craig Hayman was letting it be known that IBM's WebSphere CE open-source Java app server and Lotus Notes used many Harmony libraries in its JVM, and core code. IBM also sided with Apache and most other representatives on the JCP on the open sourcing of the Java Test Compatibility Kits (TCKs) and the connected subject of reform of the JCP - to turn the group into a vendor-neutral body. Sun was the dominant power on the JCP, having held power of veto over changes to Java - a veto now in Oracle's hands as it bought Sun. The TCKs are important. ASF said it was unable to test Harmony to prove it complies with the official spec for Java Standard Edition (Java SE) because the TCKs are closed source code. Control of the TCKs had resided with Sun - and now Oracle - as the principle stakeholder and chief steward on Java. In past years, JCP members had threatened to hold up new versions of Java unless the TCKs were opened and the JCP released. 2 From www.theregister.co.uk/2010/10/19/apache_does_not_trust_ibm/ 11 April 2011 "If Java was truly open sourced and freely available then none of this could have happened" ASF president Jim Jagielski ASF will continue to fight for opening the TCKs, but with IBM now aligned behind Oracle any chance of success now seems lost. Along with Oracle, IBM is one of Java's biggest patent holders and through its own middleware business, one of Java's biggest users. "We will continue the fight [to open the TCKs] - it's still valid," Jagielski said. "When the time comes, the vote on Java 7 [the next version of Java outlined by Oracle in September] would be a good indication of whether the fight has any life left in it. If it [Java 7] is approved, and people vote 'yes', then the ASF has a tough decision to make on whether to fight when it would be obvious that the cause is lost." He's right to be downcast. The Reg has learned that at the JCP's Bonn meeting, Oracle told JCP members - including ASF - that it had no intention of ever licensing Google's Android, which uses a subset of Harmony. Almost every JCP member accepted Oracle's decision - albeit reluctantly, according to our information. Googling "Apache Harmony" A source close to the JCP told us: "Apart from Google and Apache everybody else was disappointed, but shrugged and is prepared to move on." Jagielski said that even if every IBM employee leaves Harmony, ASF hopes Google - which has a significant vested interest thanks to the Android connection - and others will ramp up their investments in Harmony. Jagielski believes the actions of IBM prove that Java is not as open as IBM, Oracle and others would have you believe, just because it sits under a GPL license. "I would assume it would be extremely interesting to Google to increase its support and also for the open source community in general. The need for Harmony and Harmony-like implementations has never more clear than it has now," he said. "If Java was truly open sourced and feely available then none of this could have happened. This clearly shows that in a lot of cases Java is very, very closed and very, very proprietary, and it's now owned by an industry that - from its recent actions - has no compunction about leveraging its resources behind it." ASF hasn't heard anything from Google, yet. 3 From www.theregister.co.uk/2010/10/19/apache_does_not_trust_ibm/ 11 April 2011 Asked by The Reg if Google will step into IBM's lead on Harmony or move Android to OpenJDK, open-source programs manager Chris DiBona declined to comment citing the pending litigation between Google and Oracle over Android.® 4 From www.theregister.co.uk/2010/10/19/apache_does_not_trust_ibm/ 11 April 2011 .

  • Technique: HTTP the Java Way
    Technique: HTTP the Java way An article from Android in Practice EARLY ACCESS EDITION Charlie Collins, Michael D. Galpin, and Matthias Kaeppler MEAP Release: July 2010 Softbound print: Spring 2011 | 500 pages ISBN: 9781935182924 This article is taken from the book Android in Practice. The authors demonstrate how to send simple HTTP requests to a Web server using Java’s standard HTTP networking facilities. Tweet this button! (instructions here) Get 35% off any version of Android in Practice with the checkout code fcc35. Offer is only valid through www.manning.com. The standard Java class library already has a solution for HTTP messaging. An open-source implementation of these classes is bundled with Android’s class library, which is based on Apache Harmony. It’s simple and bare- bones in its structure and, while it supports features like proxy servers, cookies (to some degree), and SSL, the one thing that it lacks more than anything else is a class interface and component structure that doesn’t leave you bathed in tears. Still, more elaborate HTTP solutions are often wrappers around the standard Java interfaces and, if you don’t need all the abstraction provided, for example, by Apache HttpClient interfaces, the stock Java classes may not only be sufficient, they also perform much better thanks to a much slimmer, more low-level implementation. Problem You must perform simple networking tasks via HTTP (such as downloading a file) and you want to avoid the performance penalty imposed by the higher-level, much larger, and more complex Apache HttpClient implementation. Solution If you ever find yourself in this situation, you probably want to do HTTP conversations through a java.net.HttpURLConnection.

  • Tutorial I: STM in Managed Runtimes
    Schedule of IISWC Tutorials and Workshops Morning Session, September 29 (Saturday) Tutorial I: STM in Managed Runtimes The influential article "The Landscape of Parallel Computing Research: A View From Berkeley” suggests the only path toward significantly faster CPUs is chip multiprocessing. Programmers will simply have to adapt by writing concurrent code, regardless of any consequential problems with threads. An important trend in application development is that new applications are being developed based on a Managed Runtime Environment (MRTE) such as Java or .NET. These languages provide features such as garbage collection and dynamic class loading that require a managed runtime system (i.e. the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) for Java and .NET for C#). Software transactional memory (STM) promises to alleviate the difficulty of programming using conventional mechanisms such as locks in a threaded environment. In this tutorial we will describe the various mechanisms that are available for software developers to implement transactional applications in Managed Runtimes. We will then use a case study to delve into the workload characteristics when run under a Software Transactional memory system. The case study will be based on workloads and a runtime developed using the Apache Harmony Environment and the High Performance McRT (Multicore Runtime) STM. Apache Harmony (http://harmony.apache.org) is the open source Java SE implementation done under Apache License v2. McRT STM is a high performance runtime environment. The workloads we will characterize and demonstrate include simple micros as well as large multithreaded Java applications. Speakers: Suresh Srinivas is a Principal Engineer in the Software Solutions Group within Intel Corporation where he is currently focused on new technology development using open source technologies.
