The Robbed that Smiles
ASF Board: The ASF fully supports the Apache Harmony community as it moves forward, past this regretful decision on the part of Oracle. With respect to the many other projects in the ASF that implement JSRs, we remain committed to those projects as they are, and any new projects that wish to implement JSRs that have appropriate TCK licensing terms.
I don’t believe that Harmony is a fork of JSR 176, any more than I believe that Carakan, Chakra, JaegerMonkey, Nitro, Rhino, or V8 are forks of ECMA-262.
It always is a good idea to keep your options open, say by — just for example here — learning another framework.
