Inkqubo eyahlukileyo yesoftware namhlanje apho inkqubo yokusebenza yezixhobo eziphathwayo kufuneka zibhaptizwe zinzima kwaye zikuyo kufuneka ujongane nelungelo lokushicilela kunye nelungelo lokushicilela Ukuze ube neempawu ezithile, iikhowudi kunye nezixhobo zokuzisa elona lihle lomsebenzisi kumthengi othenge ithebhulethi, enxibekayo okanye efowuni. Sele siyazi indlela iinkampani ezahlukeneyo zetekhnoloji ezingena ematyaleni qho ngababini ngabathathu ukuze zisetyenziswe ngabaqhubi abathile okanye ii-API. Umlo oqhubekayo apho aboyisiweyo bahlala bengabasebenzisi ngelixa iinkampani zizama ukunqanda olu hlobo lokukhubazeka ngokusemandleni abo.
Yiyo kanye le nto uGoogle aza kuyifumana ilungelo lokushicilela elivela kwi-Oracle malunga nokusetyenziswa kweJava API. Nokuba kungenxa yesi sizathu okanye into enokuba sisivumelwano esifihlakeleyo phakathi kwaba babini, uGoogle kuye kwafuneka ukuba afikelele kwisigqibo esithetha ukuba, ukusuka kwi-Android N, iqonga lezixhobo eziphathwayo ziya kurhoxisa ukuxhomekeka kwayo kwiJava kwi-Oracle endaweni yokuphunyezwa umthombo ovulekileyo we-OpenJDK. Isizathu esinikwe nguGoogle kukuthatha isigqibo ngokupheleleyo kwisoftware yomthombo ovulekileyo, nangona esona sizathu sokwenza okungaphezulu kokungxamiseka kwezomthetho endaweni yeenjongo ezingaphezulu ngokuhambelana noko i-Android ihlala ifuna ukuba yisoftware yasimahla.
Ukuqhubela phambili ukusuka kwiJava
I-Oracle ifumene i-Sun Microsystems, Abanini bokuqala boLwimi lwenkqubo yeJava kunye neelayibrari zayo zekhowudi, ngo-2010 kwaye ukusukela ngoko uye wazifumana ekumzabalazo oqhubekayo neGoogle ye-Android. Isikhalazo se-Oracle kukuba Android isebenzisa iJava API yayo ngaphandle kwemvume. Ii-API okanye ujongano lwenkqubo lwesicelo lufana nesigama seelwimi zenkqubo, ezivumela abaphuhlisi ukuba bafikelele kuyo yonke imisebenzi ngaphandle kokuhamba ngokubhala ikhowudi. UGoogle ugcina ukuba ezi APIs azinakuba nelungelo lokushicilela, oku kukhokelele kwingxoxo mpikiswano enkulu eyahlule imboni yetekhnoloji kumacandelo ahlukeneyo.
Kude kube namhlanje, le ngxaki ibingekasonjululwa ngokusemthethweni. Nangona ewe, Ijaji elalicala ngombono kaGoogle ngo-2012, nangona inkundla yomanyano yasirhoxisa isigqibo ngokuthi iiAPIs zinamalungelo obunini ngaphandle kwengxaki. NgoJuni ophelileyo, iNkundla ePhakamileyo yenqabile ukubuyela kwityala kwakhona, elibuyisele kwiinkundla ezisezantsi.
Olu tshintsho lutsha luya kubachaphazela njani abaphuhlisi
Njengoko ityala lisasebenza, UGoogle uthule kakhulu okwangoku. Kule nto ithatha utshintsho olutsha kunjalo kukufumana indawo evulekileyo yendalo ye-Android, ekhuthaza ukuba usebenzise amathala eencwadi avulekileyo. Olu tshintsho luthe cwaka lufunyenwe ngenxa yolongezo olutsha kwikhowudi yemithombo esele iqinisekisiwe nguGoogle ukuba ibeyimeko yeenguqulelo ze-Android ezizayo.
Abasebenzisi bokugqibela, akufuneki kubekho lutshintsho lubonakalayo. Yi kubaphuhlisi apho uya kubona khona umahluko othile, kuba abayi kunyanzeleka ukuba bakhethe phakathi kwee-API ezimbini njengoko bane-OpenJDK kuphela kwaye kunokuba kunjani ukusebenza ngekhowudi eyenziwe lula. KuGoogle, oku kuvula umnyango wokuba nefuthe elikhulu kwindlela yokuphunyezwa komthombo ovulekileyo, ngakumbi ngeendlela ezintsha ezinokuphucula i-Android.
Ngamafutshane, kunjalo intshukumo elungileyo yeqhinga likaGoogle ukususa ezo zikhalazo zihlala zivela kwi-Oracle. Ke ngoku kufuneka sazi iinkcukacha ezithe kratya zokumiliselwa eziza kuqala kuhlobo olukhulu olukhulu lwe-Android, ekuza kuthi kulo nyaka uzayo ube ngu-N wokuqala.
