Over the last 6 months or so, the development on Java EE 8 JSRs led by Oracle has nearly come to a stand-still. Even some spec leads working for Oracle privately admitted that they cannot do their part because Oracle has given them other priorities.

That is why the JEE Guardians group was formed by the community and that’s why I just signed this petition: “Larry Ellison: Tell Oracle to Move Forward Java EE as a Critical Part of the Global IT Industry”

If you care about the future of Enterprise Java, please get involved and sign the petition, too.
