OOW 2009: No open source ADF

It was a long awaited topic, to get ADF released as open source. Unfortunately, now Oracle decided to not go this step, because they need control about framework. ADF is strategic to whole Oracle development. So, we don’t get a open source release, but 550+ new features even in the next patch set of JDev 11g. From a licence perspective, it would be great to get a Weblogic XE edition, usable for free, to increase the adoption of ADF. Just a wish at the moment…
