[sl4shd0t]

medv4380 writes with news from InfoWorld about the near-term future of Java: "Java Platform, SE (Standard Edition) 7 has been passed this week by the JCP Executive Committee for SE/EE (Enterprise Edition), by a vote of 13 in favor and 1 — Google — against. Oracle, IBM, VMware, Red Hat, and Fujitsu are among the affirmative votes, and two committee members — Credit Suisse and Java architect Werner Keil — did not vote. Specifically, committee members voted on Java Specification Request 336, which pertains to the Java upgrade. Voting on the public review ballot for Java SE 7 finished up earlier this week after beginning on May 31. Java SE 7 still faces another vote on a final approval ballot."http://a.fsdn.com/sd/facebook_icon_large.png (http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fdevelopers.slashdot.org% 2Fstory%2F11%2F06%2F10%2F1212235%2FJava-SE-7-Finally-Approved-By-JCP-13-To-1%3Futm_source%3Dslashdot%26utm_medium%3Dfacebook) http://a.fsdn.com/sd/twitter_icon_large.png (http://twitter.com/home?status=Java+SE+7+Finally+Approved+By+JCP%2C+1 3+To+1%3A+http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2FkCJgrc)
