Eclipse OpenJ9

The open source Java community primarily operates at the OpenJDK and AdoptOpenJDK projects. OpenJDK (http://openjdk.java.net/) is the place to collaborate on an open-source implementation of the Java Platform, Standard Edition (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/overview/index.html), and related projects. IBM has developed an independent implementation of a Java Virtual Machine, codenamed "J9" which we want to bring to the open source community. We want to open source this technology with a fully open governance model so that the entire Java community has the freedom to both use and contribute to this technology. IBM will continue its development activities for J9 directly in this open project and welcomes anyone else who wants to participate.
