Useless programmers blame the programming language
Therefore C/C++/Java sucks. QED.

Calling Oracle's SCO bluff
The reason Harmony is not getting a TCK is because Oracle wants Android to run a non-standard version of OpenJDK. Oracle wants Google Android as their property. It is like SCO versus IBM. But with a twist. Oracle wants Harmony to legitimize this legal attack through the JCP. Because without Apache Oracle just looks like a bunch of thugs stealing from their own. This is not an attack on Google. It is an attack on open source developers and public standards. SQL, Java, etc.
JavaFX is suddenly a Java API in J2SE and nobody questions why this happens. Because there is no standard Java mobile runtime. J2ME is obsolete and JavaFX is based on code that targets desktop computers. So if you can not compete, then sue the competition instead. And this why everything is made in China. Because everybody needs money for lawyers.
So now the "good guys" are suing people. Just wait for the "bad guys" next year. Maybe Oracle becomes the next patent lawsuit Jupiter or something. Or maybe Jupiter just bounces the problem further down the galaxy just for kicks.
