the more esoteric corners of Java. It's like someone just offered to support windows XP forever. I highly recommenced donating to the Eclipse Foundation, they have made an impact far out of proportion to their size close to Bill Gates, but what they're doing for the good of us all might not be profitable.
There's nothing esoteric about Java EE at all, what are you talking about? It has, among other things, the standard API for creating REST services, data binding via XML and JSON, persistence, etc.
