Let the JCP run free

Tim Bray on JCP

In 2008, the JCP is costing Sun opportunities and friends and gaining us very little that I can see.

So I’d like Sun to set the JCP free, turn it over to the community, and when we develop some cool Java-based technology in-house, take it to market, try to make some money with it, and after it’s caught on and the bugs are shaken out, consider whether or not it ought to be taken to the JCP.

Amen.

After a long time, commons-net 2.0 has finally been released. It is now also available in the central Maven repo. While there are many changes and general clean ups in the release, the big news for me is the support for FTPS. That’s a feature we use a lot in the unit testing of Apache FtpServer so now having commons-net release rather than as a snapshot should make life easier.
Now, countdown to getting 1.0-M4 of FtpServer released has started. Still got some bugs to fix.
