will Glasfish survive

Douglas Dooley — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 20:07:02 -0400

i am just trying to reconcile how the better product receives 1/10th the resources, i mean WebLogic was dying before the acquisition, JBoss had it beat, and then Oracle picks it up for a song, somewhat cheaper than they got Sun, in relative terms, and turns it in to the base of Fusion, and ERP, and invests all this money in to it to become the enterprise platform, all while Glassfish was getting good, and ready to take-down JBoss, or at least take on Spring Source, and then the acquisition, and all funding dried up, all OSS community participation went away, and now its just a small division i

JavaOne 2011

My development team is largely Java based. I am aware of Devoxx and would hope to attend next year, but what are the other conferences that would be useful for my requirements?

Hudson/Jenkins: A teachable moment in open source Java

Athen OShea — Tue, 01 Mar 2011 14:38:50 -0500

A teachable moment in education theory is the point when internal and external events converge to prime a student for learning that could not have previously occurred. A teachable moment might be related to personal development or to outside events, but the main point is to seize the day, recognizing that the opportunity for learning is both provisional and finite.

Judging from the recent Java state of the union OTN tech cast, Oracle's current strong message is that it's spent the past year learning the value and importance of community to the Java ecosystem, and of ecosystem to the stability and success of Java. Interestingly, the corporation is also putting new emphasis on the enterprise consumer, or technology end user, as an essential layer of the Java ecosystem.

Greetings, and welcome to Observer/Observable, my new editorial blog on JavaWorld. As an editor in the high technology space, I've been engaged by the evolving technology and culture of Java programming for more than 10 years. In that time I've edited and published hundreds of articles related to Java technology; created and launched a couple of online communities for software developers (one long forgotten, the other right here on JavaWorld); written articles, conducted roundtables, and so on.

Dear James Gosling: It's way past t-shirts

Josh Fruhlinger — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 00:25:42 -0400

I respect James Gosling in several ways: both as a technical whiz and as a guy who managed to rise pretty far up in a big corporation without losing his soul or sense of idealism. Google may be using its newfound position as bullying victim for PR advantage, but Gosling has as near as I can tell no financial axe to grin in the conflict, and is motivated mostly by his vision for the platform he created. (In fact, if he has Oracle stock left over from his Sun compensation, he may be acting against his own financial self interest.)

Is the JavaOne love gone?

Josh Fruhlinger — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 01:48:53 -0400

The question of whether you'll be heading to JavaOne is more relevant than ever, now that Oracle's decision to sue Google over Java has so many Java developers roiled up. The spectacle of Larry Ellison giving the keynote speech will certainly be worth the price of admission, not least to see how hostile the audience gets.

Do Oracle's patent claims stand a chance?

Josh Fruhlinger — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 02:18:26 -0400

So Oracle has two distinct claims in its lawsuit against Google over Android: copyright violation and patent violation. The copyright claims are extremely vague and its hard to see how they could apply, given that what Java code Android does contain comes from the open source Apache Harmony project. I suppose it's possible that Oracle will make a SCO-like claim that some source code that they owned was open-sourced without their consent, though this seems improbable. More likely this is a "let's throw this in and see if anything sticks" clause.

Oracle gets litigious; should SpringSource be worried?

Josh Fruhlinger — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 02:56:40 -0400

Oracle's move to sue Google over Android is, if a surprise, then not a shock. Oracle has a reputation of playing hardball; Android was a direct threat to Oracle's Java ME business. The question is: is this just the first of many lawsuits over technology that Oracle thinks it has a right to? And if so, who's next?

Oracle sues Google over Android

Josh Fruhlinger — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 11:54:05 -0400

Usually I update this blog on Mondays and Wednesdays, but obviously there's been a big news story that can't really wait. To read my immediate take, check out the post I wrote on InfoWorld's Tech Watch blog, "Oracle launches scorched-earth fight to profit from Java." More in depth discussion coming next week!

Sun-Oracle's new oneness hits an odd bump

Josh Fruhlinger — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 23:01:48 -0400

"We Are All One" is the optimistic title of an Oracle Technical Network post on the merger on developers.sun.com and java.sun.com into the aforementioned Oracle Technical Network. (Full and probably unnecessary disclosure: I did some freelance editing work for the OTN back in the early '00s.) The article outlines what exactly this means; it's kind of boring, but it's a big job, and, if Oracle isn't going to keep the Sun brand around (and there's no indication that they plan to do so), a necessary one.

Survey: Java developers totally fine with Oracle's stewardship, maybe

Josh Fruhlinger — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 14:17:05 -0400

There was a small burst of interest in the Java press last week about a survey conducted by Jaspersoft of developers who use Java and MySQL. The survey sought to see how those developers felt about the future of those two open source technologies under Oracle's guiding hands.

NetBeans? Eclipse? Oracle chooses both, for different people

Josh Fruhlinger — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 16:11:49 -0400

Those of you who are eager to know which of the two main open source Java based IDEs Oracle would support -- NetBeans, which is a product Oracle has inherited from Sun, or Eclipse, which was originally created and still heavily backed by IBM but has wider market share -- your wait is over. Oracle is choosing both!

Oracle's focus on Java EE could hurt

Josh Fruhlinger — Thu, 01 Jul 2010 00:30:52 -0400

My headline from last week -- "Harmony: The only Java SE implementation that matters" -- was obviously meant to be deliberately provocative. Perhaps it would be better to day that it's the only Java SE implementation whose development is having an immediate impact on the day-to-day experiences of those who use it. But one anonymous commenter made an important point: "JEE *depends* on JSE. You could claim JSE-as-something-a-typical-user-cares-about is a flop, but not that JSE as an entity has been a flop."

Oracle Announces New Middleware Dealie ZZZZ

Josh Fruhlinger — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 23:57:11 -0400

Man, when I was waiting all that time for Oracle to have its merger with Sun approved, I sort of was expecting exciting new things to emerge in the world of Java once it was all over. I can't really say that Oracle has done much with Sun since the merger has completed, except fire a bunch of people and flip-flop for the worse on the TCK issue with the ASF.

The Sun software diaspora

Josh Fruhlinger — Wed, 19 May 2010 18:16:09 -0400

InfoWorld's Paul Krill has meticulously put together a list of Sun folk who have fled the company since the merger with Oracle was completed. If you're interested in Java -- or Sun's software generally, much of which was to one degree or another built around the Java brand -- then what will really jump out at you from the list is that they're all software people.

Google's Java chief subtly calls for detente with Oracle on Android?

Josh Fruhlinger — Thu, 15 Apr 2010 00:51:43 -0400

Much hand-wringing from Google's chief Java architect Josh Bloch spent a good chunk of a speech at Red Hat's Middleware 2020 conference wailing about Java's last few years drifting along. It's a speech that made quite a splash, for obvious reasons, and contains many familiar gripes about the platform: new releases are taking too long to come out; the JCP's future is murky.

James Gosling out at Oracle

Josh Fruhlinger — Mon, 12 Apr 2010 18:21:47 -0400

One of the fun things about writing a blog is seeing a wide range of news sources churn stories out based on the same kernel of information. Thus, I eagerly scoured the tech press to find out more information about James Gosling's resignation from Oracle, which apparently happened more than a week ago but only became public late Friday. All of them without fail were based on Gosling's blog entry, and all of them without fail included this quote, the juiciest:
