MicroProfile.io, a group that has set out to improve enterprise Java for microservices deployments, plans to form its own foundation.

The foundation is expected to fall under the umbrella of the Eclipse Foundation, said Rich Sharples, senior director of product management at Red Hat, which has participated in MicroProfile.io.

It would provide "fair and even governance," with no single vendor dominating, and handle responsibilities like legal and technical infrastructure, as well as trademark and copyright assignment. MicroProfile.io has taken the stance that Oracle, which oversees Java, has been too dominant in Java's development.

"We expect to move fast with technology that developers can play with immediately, with no restrictions, and we'll do that in a collaborative and inclusive manner, not just big vendors," Sharples said. "We'll get the technology refined and fit for purpose then standardize ideally through the JCP [Java Community Process] at some point." A formal Java Specification Request is expected to be filed for MicroProfile.
