So developers can choose to have the batteries included or to pay a vendor. I hear signing contracts with IBM and Oracle is a great experience. Is that the joke?

> proof that Java community does care

Oh, the community wants them. It's been Sun then Oracle and now the OpenJDK project that has never prioritized these things and that's the runtime 99% of JVM shops run.

The sad joke, when comparing with other professions, is wanting to be payed while refusing to pay others for the tooling one uses.

I happily pay for a number of excellent tools. I also have no interest in doing business with IBM and Oracle again.
