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

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.

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.

Can Enterprise Java and open-source Java co-exist? Without license fees for Java EE 5, how would Sun derive revenue from Java?

So, in terms of actual code, what will Sun release, to whom, and when?
