   @natecull IMO, the developer and user communities need to fork the language (or better cleanroom reimplement it). In the process, a lot of backwards compatibility and misfeatures could be removed during the required java.* and javax.* renaming.
   .
   Right now, #Eclipse and many #Apache projects are one lawyer letter away from shutdown. One Java++ is named and sufficiently diverged from Oracle's #Java, those projects could transition to the replacement.

     Thanks to our Java product's (former) reputation for high quality, reliability, etc, we at Oracle are currently setting all that on fire while flushing it, and our own reputation, down the toilet.

     Wheeee!

     @natecull It doesn't help that since #Java 7, they've been saying that "the install one JVM locally, then run many applications" model is going away and apps would soon need to embed the JVM.
