That is what I was thinking. Java EE is was already losing mindshare to Spring. However I still find this troubling for the future of Java. If they kill EE this casually, why wouldn't they slowly abandon Java altogether . Java EE is the canary in the coal mine. Not that I would be sad about Java's demise. Many companies see Java as they only real programming language. Maybe if Oracle keeps it up the enterprise will start to consider using other languages. |

They tried to do Java based based terminals like Sun was promoting (remember NC?), their RDMS engine allows for stored procedures in Java and already in the early 2000's the database GUI tools were Java based.
What I imagine they doing is going full commercial with the language and withdraw OpenJDK from public access.
There are already quite a few features that are only available via commercial licences, including the AOT compiler that is being developed.
