Merry Christmas Everyone!

This has certainly been a year that no one will forget. Between wars, global economic meltdown and an amazing election in America, all the stuff that goes on in the computer industry pales to insignificance - although the stuff we all build had a role to play. The internet has certainly changed the process of elections forever.

Nonetheless, it's been a great year in the Java universe: JavaFX 1.0 launched; NetBeans 6.5; Glassfish V3; JDK6u10/11; MSA; OpenJDK&jdk7... OpenSolaris 2008.11, OpenStorage, OpenSSO, VirtualBox, OpenOffice 3, MySQL 5.1... Software at Sun has really been cranking out great stuff. Permalink Comments [5]

Hi James,

Merry Christmas and a very happy new year to you!

What is your guidance for Year 2009? Also can we expect some kind of technology merger of JavaFx and JSF so that we can use it for building Enterprise 2.0 applications?
