Albert Leigh's Weblog: Sun IBM WebSphere Solution Architect

JavaOne 2009

Highlight of the General Session

• Read the details about the official wrap-up report here and the video replay
• Larry Ellison on “What will happen to Java?” after the acquisition
  • Accelerate Oracle's investments in Java
  • Oracle middleware strategy is 100% Java
  • All Oracle apps above the DB is all Java
  • Also mentioned about JavaFX as well as OpenOffice API's
  • Don't expect a lot of changes for Java except expanded investments and more enthusiasms from Oracle
  • Hinted potential Java based devices like netbook etc. from the new company
• Other keynotes by Sony/Ericsson, IBM, Microsoft (who came in peace)
• James Gosling's Toy Show

Highlight of the Technical General Session

• It's worth to watch the following Technical General Session video to see the technical overview and current state of the Java platform.
  
  • JavaFX: Revolutionary, augmented GUI, ease of development, graphics, etc.
  • Project Kenai where you can host your open source projects and code, as well as find and collaborate with developers of like mind
  • Project Zembly is a browser-based development environment that consumes RESTful services
  • Netbeans 6.7 available with improved Kenai integration and other developer productivity enhancements
  • Java SE 7: Current is Milestone 3, Milestone 6 in Oct '09, Milestone 8 in Feb '10 – Release Candidate
    • JDK 7 (modularity, Project Jigsaw, JSR-294, no more classpath, aggregator, module files, multi-lingual JVM, the Da Vinci Machine Project: JSR-292 (InvokeDynamic) new byte code, Project Coin: small language changes, the Diamond <> operator, concurrency and collection updates, JSR-203 (Additional new I/O API's), Socket Direct Protocol, Stream Control Protocol, JSR-308 (Type Annotations)
    • Hotspot performance, Parallel Classloaders, Compressed 64-bit pointers, G1 Collector (very low pause, high probabilistic, more tunable than CMS) (I mentioned that many of these performance features are also available now with JDK 6 Update 14)
    • Client side improvements: XRender 2D pipeline, Swing Date Picker, Updated Unicode 5.1 support, etc.
  • Java EE 6: 09/09 release, more powerful, flexible, ease of development, profiles and pruning, extensible
    • Web tier improvements: JAX-RS 1.1 RESTful Web Services, JSF 2.0, Servlet 3.0, JSP 2.2, EL 1.1, etc.
    • EJB tier: EJB 3.1, “Lite” standalone version, JSR-303 Bean validation, packaging in WAR
    • Glassfish v3, NB 6.7, Eclipse
  • Java Store launched: Connecting Developers to Consumers (bytecode upload, verification by Sun, published warehouse, URL for user feedback, developer updates)
