Contribute the Apple JDK source to OpenJDK
Published October 23, 2010
Apple has recently announced that it would prefer if someone else were to continue the development of the JDK for Mac OS X. As Apple's own JDK is mature and well-integrated, we would love to see Apple contributing the source code of the existing JDK for Mac OS X to the OpenJDK BSD Port project (http://openjdk.java.net/projects/bsd-port).

This petition has quickly gained support and I will soon send this link to Apple. Thanks for all of your signatures and let's hope we will get a decent OpenJDK for Mac OS X! :-)
