Hope I am not from Mars. I found this is quite interesting (and some
comments there):

Some discussions in Slashdot on this (Well, like most Slashdot comments...):

IMHO Stephen has done a good job of describing the whole Java/JCP
ecosystem through his series of blog posts.

Hopefully more people understand how Java progress works now, coming
from somebody who does not have an axe to grind [1].

Oracle cannot say anything definitive until the acquisition completes,
but historically they have always been supportive of the Apache position
regarding the TCK for Harmony.  I expect they will do the right thing.
