Red Hat to Assist Sun with Open Source Java
Red Hat is going to help Sun Microsystems advance the Java platform, particularly as it applies to open source. The Linux distributor has announced it has signed Sun's broad contributor agreement, which covers participation in all Sun-led open-source projects by all Red Hat engineers.
Red Hat also announced that it has signed Sun's OpenJDK Community TCK (Technology Compatibility Kit) License Agreement. The agreement gives Red Hat access to the test suite that determines whether an implementation of Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition) platform that is derived from the OpenJDK project complies with the Java SE 6 specification.
Sun officials said Red Hat is the first major open-source software vendor to license the Java SE TCK in support of Java SE compatibility. To help foster innovation and advancement of the Java technology ecosystem, Red Hat will also share its developers' contributions with Sun as part of the OpenJDK community.
These agreements pave the way for Red Hat to create a fully compatible open-source JDK (Java Development Kit) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, including the Java Runtime Environment, Red Hat officials said.
