snydeq writes "Neil McAllister sees Oracle's buggy Java SE 7 release as only the latest misstep in a mounting litany of bad behavior. 'Who was the first to alert the Java community? The Apache Foundation. Oh, the irony.

'It seems as if Oracle would like nothing better than to stomp Apache and its open source Java efforts clean out of existence.'"
