Spring is to J2EE as Dalvik is to J2SE

Authored by: lwoggardner on Friday, May 11 2012 @ 09:41 AM EDT

When Oracle say

So Spring uses the Java programming language, but it doesn’t use the Sun-created APIs.

The only way this makes any kind of sense is if the Sun-created APIs they are talking about here are the J2EE APIs, not the J2SE APIs.

The Spring example is supposed to be an analogy, not a direct example of someone re-implementing the functionality of the J2SE, and is has nothing to do with using J2SE. I don't think LE or Oracle's lawyers actually understand this and I can imagine some very frustrated tech folks at Oracle trying to explain it - "not that Java, this Java"

It doesn't even make sense for them to be deliberately obtuse because I can't see how the Judge could possibly get it either.
