Oracle & IBM Join Forces

On April 20, 2009 Oracle announced   the purchase of Sun Microsystems.  Aug 12, 2010 Oracle announced that it had filed suit against Google over the use of Java in their Android mobile phone operating system. Now 2 months later,   competitors IBM and Oracle say they are collaborating on advancing OpenJDK development and Java SE.  "The agreement is a reflection of the strategic reality we both face. We're cooperating and combining resources to accelerate innovation on the Java platform," said Adam Messinger, an Oracle software executive. Only time will tell what impact, if any,  the collaboration will have on the  lawsuit with Google or the Android.   To read a full articles on the collaboration please visit NY Times  and  InfoWorld .
