The Official Site for Breaking News and the Latest Information from Sun On The Record

The Sun Java System Application Server was rated #2 in terms of 
preference by GNU/Linux open source developers in the Fall 2006 
Evans Data "Open Source Software/Linux Developers Survey." This 
is a dramatic increase in preference for Sun's application server 
which was #7 in last year's survey. 

What changed? 

Since the 2005 survey, Sun has finished and released its 
application server as part of the GlassFish Open Source 
Community which has resulted in hundreds of thousands of 
downloads and widespread adoption. This has become such a 
highly preferred application servers because it is based on 
the commercial quality code donated by Sun to the community. 
The #2 ranking was in response to the question: "Which 
application server do you use MOST often with an Open Source 
operating system?"  The Evans Data survey consists of over 400 
in-depth interviews with Linux developers and can be obtained
