Confusing the issue
Authored by: Gringo_ on Sunday, May 06 2012 @ 11:21 AM EDT

lets be generous, and say that 20% of the classes from the 51 packages are "absolutely essential".

So there you have just agreed with my hypothesis that you cannot change the names and SSO and still have Java. So why does your comment continue from there? You only confuse the issue.

The judge's question wasn't "could you change some of the names and some of the SSO". He is talking about "use of the SSO in the 37 API packages in Android".

Your point 2) assertion is incorrect

And was stated in evidence.

Anybody who learns Java by learning how to write Apps on an Android platform is
well set to transition the knowledge gained to a full java library stack
including familiarity with 37 of the most commonly used APIs.

It does not fragment Java at all.

The non Java parts of Android are not portable to Java platforms and those parts
of the Java libraries that were not included are not portable to mobile
platforms.

Hopping between Android Java for tablet phone apps and switching to pure Java
for producing a PC port of the application is exactly the point of attracting
the Java mindset.


Java usage has increased 10% year on year since android.

Who said that?

OK. Then please explain to me how Oracle
benefits from Android using their APIs. I
know it's happening, in that we see the
numbers, the increase. But what is the
mechanism?
