At the meeting, Resolution 1 was approved by all members of the JCP Executive Committee except Eclipse and SAS, which were absent, and Sun, which abstained. So it's a shoe-in, right?

As Gosling himself likes to say, "That was then, this is now." In an August 8 blog post on Oracle and the future of the JCP, Gosling wrote: "This resolution in 2007 was all part of a control game played by Oracle, no high-minded principles involved at all. Now that they have a different point of view, it's clear that this resolution being honored is about as likely as pigs growing wings."
