Java EE 5 Specification Approved by the JCP in Perfect Time for JavaOne

JSR 244 Passes Unanimously; Spec's Aim is to Accelerate Java Development

May. 3, 2006 10:45 AM

The Java EE (Enterprise Edition) 5 specification has received unanimous approval from the Java Community Process. Sun will conduct a technical preview of Java EE 5 today in Menlo Park, CA - with the participation of BEA, IBM, JBoss, Oracle, and SAP, all Java licensees.

Incoming SVP, Software - Rich Green - couldn't have asked for a better start to the resumption of his high-flying career at the company that he quit just 2 years ago to join an open-source start-up, Cassatt Corporation. And as for Sun's new CEO, Jonathan Schwartz (pictured), Enterprise Java is always a more "investor-friendly" topic than, say, open-sourcing Java, which tends to beg questions of what the financial model behind such a move would be. So Schwartz must be delighted to have so timely a tidbit to throw to Wall Street.

Java EE 5 Specification Approved by the JCP in Perfect Time for JavaOne

yorkrj wrote: Whether Java is open sourced or not is of no matter to me. What would concern me if Java were to be open sourced would be a potential splintering of the JRE remeniscent of the days when Microsoft had their broken implementation of the JVM. Open Sourcing Java could be a good thing, bringing Java to platforms it had not previously been on, but only if there is a strong development leadership and there is NO forking of the source.
