JBoss joining NetBeans? Based on what Marc Fleury has to says with a red barrette. With the craze around Web 2.0 Motorola and JBoss are using NetBeans, which Marc believes has next generation programming model which is rewarded by Jonathan’s Red and white “I love NetBeans” shirt.

 

Hum this sounds interesting looking for Evangelists in the community?

Rich Green the EVP back after 2 years was asked by Jonathan so will Java ever be free?

And Rich says : “It is not the question of whether we will go open source but how.”

But there is several actions that need to be taken

            Join SDN

            Download all the stuff from the Sun site

            Join the JCP.org and Java.net

By doing the above we will make sure compatibility will remain important and we can all move forward.

 

The Senior VP of Java Jeff Jackson is talking about Java EE 5.0 with

            Web 2.0

            And .Net interoperability (wonder if it’s .Net 2.0 J )

It is very important to say Java EE (not Java 2 EE) but Java EE.

Java EE 5 is here with focus on:

  • Simplified programming models
  • EJB 3.0
  • New Java API
  • Foundation for SOA
  • Web 2.0 with AJAX
