The java modularity train-wreck-to-be is still ploughing full steam ahead. The recent publication of the JSR-277 Early Draft has resulted in a some very sharp criticism. Lots of posts aggregated in this great post but Patrick Beno’s review is one of the most comprehensive I’ve read.
InfoQ have just gone and stoked the flames further with post where their questions (solicited from the community) met with laughable responses from the JSR-271/JSR-294 spec leads. Honestly, the companies and individuals represented on the ECs for this JSR should be asking themselves some hard questions about whether they want to continue to associate themselves with this mess.
