Monday December 11, 2006 JDK 6 Packages Available For GNU/Linux
Java SE 6 was launched this morning. This afternoon, the install bundles for Debian-based GNU/Linux systems were made available. Huge congratulations to Tom Marble, who I know has worked very hard to make this happen the same day as the release (so hard he's not got round to any blogging while he's been doing it).

Looks like there will be native platform support for ISO26300 OpenDocument format (at least for text files) in the next version of Apple OS X. Sweet!

Bob explains why it was no news that ECMA approved Microsoft's standardisation of their Office.12 product's file format. Sun hasn't commented since we left ECMA some time ago due to their coin-op nature.

Java SE 6 Launched in London
I'm in the minimalist splendour of the St Martin's Lane Hotel in London today attending the launch of Java SE 6. Mark can tell you all the details, but what stands out to me is the emphasis of the developer support service. For the next 60 days, developers can try the support service free of charge to help their migration to the Java 6 platform. More importantly, the range of support services on software from Sun is growing - OpenOffice.org, NetBeans, now Java 6. It's not the only way we'll be monetising our engagement in FOSS, but you can see the trend.
