Google retrieves Java APIs in Android, but it excites? – Macworld

Google says in the upcoming Android version N not to use more of the Java APIs and now only have to choose for OpenJDK. That is the open source version of Java Development Kit, like Java itself coming from Oracle

.

Is that what make for us? If you are a user will hardly notice it. But there are two consequences, the first thing that direct than the second. We put it out.

The first consequence is that developers now fine can go ahead by themselves just to focus on the development of applications based on OpenJDK and Java now can leave the left. These can now be used provides the features that Java 8. OpenJDK Java supports eight, the Java class library used by Google was, it does not. That’s because the class library that is used for Android comes from four years ago defunct Apache Harmony project.

The second is still speculative. As you know, Google and Oracle for years engaged in a fierce legal battle over the use of Java APIs for Android. Oracle claims the copyright on those APIs, Google contrast, that can rest on APIs no copyright.

Google is in this case the weaker party and with the move to OpenJDK seems the company to take an advance on the loss of business, or perhaps a settlement with Oracle out of court. Now Google is a financial loss to it, but the implications go further. Should these case arise that APIs indeed a copyright may be, we stand for a long period of litigation between companies that need each other’s APIs to work products, and developers write the chance to give their own goods for other people’s hardware.

We’ll see.
