Deletion of JAR hell

I noticed that this paged had been marked for deletion, so I gave it a shot. My first contribution, so comments, etc., welcomed. DenaDweller 00:00, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

It is not appropriate to link to one's own work, but here is a link that may be relevant to JAR hell case #3: It is US patent application number 20030167349, named Handling different service versions in a server. It's originally from around 1999, and if I remember correctly, there is a Finnish/European patent issued. -- Petri Krohn 23:30, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

In the EU there are no software patents. --80.99.1.94 (talk) 14:06, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, there are. Read the Wikipedia article on Software Patents#Europe, specifically:

Article 52 EPC excludes "programs for computers" from patentability (Art. 52(2)) to the extent that a patent application relates to a computer program "as such" (Art. 52(3)). This has been interpreted to mean that any invention which makes a non-obvious "technical contribution" or solves a "technical problem" in a non-obvious way is patentable even if that technical problem is solved by running a computer program.

JSR 277

Regarding the claim that Sun Microsystems has put development of JSR 277 on hold, this is the closest to an official announcement I can find: http://blogs.sun.com/mr/entry/jigsaw
