Even though voting startd on Jun 23 and finishes, after a looong voting period, on Nov 15 the voting process is still not intuitive. Trying different browsers on different machines didn't help either. Anyway, I sent an email using their "Contact Us" link and hopefully will hear from them soon :)

In the meanwhile, each of the nominated products above can brag with the logo on their website.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Java EE 5!

My Google Alerts pointed me to an old song on Java EE 5 by Roumen.

Enjoy a blogger's geekiness about technology and the lyrics are:

Ladies and gentlemen, this is Java EE 5!

One, two, three, four, five
There's a technology I use day and night
For my application with a web frontend
They told me to use .Net
But I really don´t wanna

So many bugs I fixed last week.
My code is neat and talk is a cheap
I like Glassfish, JSF, persistence API
And as I continue you know they´re gettin´ sweeter

So what can I do I really beg you my Lord
To me codin' it´s just like a sport
All the bad code from the past, let me dump it
Please set in the trumpet

A little bit of injection in my life
A little bit of persistence by my side
A little bit of NetBeans is all I need
A little bit of EJB's what I see
A little bit of standards in the sun
A little bit of XML all night long
A little bit web services here I am
A little bit of code makes me real man

This is Java EE 5!

Jump up and down and move your code around
Shake your head to the sound bury bad code under ground
Move one step left and one step right
One to the front and one to the side
Refactor it once and refactor it twice
If it looks like this you're doin´ it right

A little bit of injection in my life
A little bit of persistence by my side
A little bit of NetBeans is all I need
A little bit of EJB's is what I see
A little bit of standards in the sun
A little bit of XML all night long
A little bit web services here I am
A little bit of code makes me real man

This is Java EE 5!

This is outright hilarious! Roman has moved onto a different role within Sun recently and is missed. But this song truly conveys part of what I do on daily basis. I guess I should record one for GlassFish ;-)
