Happy birthday to Java

Court rules on preliminary motions in Sun-Microsoft case
US District Court Judge Ronald Whyte issued tentative rulings on three of the original ten motions filed by Sun and Microsoft on January 22.
One of Whyte's nonbinding rulings states that Microsoft's use of Java in Windows 98, Internet Explorer 4.0, and VisualJ++ 6.0 infringes on Sun's source code copyrights.
The other two rulings state that Microsoft does have the right to develop an independent, "clean room" implementation of Java, and it may distribute clean room versions that do not comply with Sun Java compatibility tests.
At the end of each ruling, the court asked questions to help lawyers for both sides prepare to address the relevant issues that need to be resolved before the judge renders the final decision. A hearing on the rulings has been set for June 24. Other rulings could come at any time.
These rulings do not affect the preliminary injunction Sun was granted on November 17, 1998, in which Judge Whyte ordered Microsoft to make changes to some of its products so they include a version of Java that will pass Sun's compatibility test suite. Microsoft has appealed that ruling, and an appellate court is scheduled to hear the appeal on June 16.
XML.org emerges as home of the XML spec
OASIS, the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards, has sprouted XML.org, a Web site to act as a repository for Extensible Markup Language (XML) information. XML.org will be available for users and developers.
The site will offer a registry and repository to access and manage XML schemas, Document Type Definitions (DTD), and other XML-related information. The site will also implement an architecture that uses existing as well as emerging XML registry and repository standards.
Microsoft says XML key to next generation's Web
At the recent TechEd conference, Microsoft Developer Group Vice President Paul Maritz said that today's Web is the second generation, focusing on the server and providing applications and data to users. Maritz predicted that the next-generation Web will become an "application integration architecture" -- a business-transaction gateway. And Maritz thinks that XML will be the key to make it work.
Maritz said, "XML will revolutionize the usage of the Web to make it a business driver." Maritz predicts that XML will transport data just like HTML transports Web pages. And the Component Object Model will provide for object transportation.
Microsoft Developer Division Vice President Tod Nielsen agreed, commenting that XML would eventually be a native part of all the company's products.
