Sun revising plan for Java recognition See news.com for today's story about Java and the ISO. Once again, it appears SUNW wants to make Java an "open standard" while retaining proprietary control over it, and the ISO isn't buying that double standard. While SUNW is blaming MSFT for their troubles with ISO once again the analogies to C and C++ seem apt. If Java is truly to become a standard, SUNW will wind up with no more leverage over it than AT&T (the originators of both C and C++) has with its progeny. Obviously they know this which is why it becomes increasingly clear that SUNW has no intention of really making Java an open standard.
