Stance on Oracle and Java EE stewardship

ISSUE:

Java EE gets adopted by Eclipse. More info: LINK.

SAP’s stance:

The announcement of Oracle to handover stewardship of Java EE to the Eclipse foundation is a forward-looking process targeting future releases of the technology stack.

It does not affect existing licensees and customers who have adopted Java EE. SAP in particular is such a licensee and SAP customers running existing solutions are also unaffected by this change.
SAP does not plan any product name or any other changes for existing products and solutions in this context.

Future products and solutions of SAP may need to adopt the most relevant technological standards which provide most flexibility and value for customers.

Such standards may come from established software vendors or can be a community driven effort with SAP being active participant influencing the agenda towards true enterprise readiness.
