I didnt read it, but if it is true, then it is IBM all over again.
I jsut gotta say oen thing, no “google is evil” off-shoots ok :P.
seems like the deal is done, wonder what this’ll mean for java?, guessing not much for java gaming.
Says nothing about Java, I really want to know what this means for Java…
sun seems ot really want to be bought
Oracle buying up Sun?
What are they going to do with Sun?
:o
Its really just all over the place.
[quote]There are substantial long-term strategic customer advantages to Oracle owning two key Sun software assets: Java and Solaris. Java is one of the computer industry’s best-known brands and most widely deployed technologies, and it is the most important software Oracle has ever acquired. Oracle Fusion Middleware, Oracle’s fastest growing business, is built on top of Sun’s Java language and software. Oracle can now ensure continued innovation and investment in Java technology for the benefit of customers and the Java community.

There seem to be little overlap apart from Mysql.
So it could have been worse.
[quote]Among other remarks, Schwartz adds: “Let me assure you [Oracle is] single minded in [its] focus on the one asset that doesn’t appear in our financial statements: our people.”

Sounds healthy
SNIPPED I know it’s out there, but that was an internal e-mail and should not be posted publicly. Sorry. - Chris
What’s the take on the SUN brand?
At Oracle they are so extremely, intensely focused on the serverside, that I fear improving JavaFX, the browser-plugin (or JOGL for that matter) will have a very low priority. Oracle will focus on where the money is… and it’s not on the desktop.
I hold my breath for MySQL, sure they won’t instantly pull the plug, but what will they do in the long run… even doing ‘nothing’ is bad. We can always convert to PostreSQL, which is better anyway. :persecutioncomplex:
That’s what I fear of.

I really hope the don’t kill it, or at least sell it to another company or so…
Maybe Larry Ellison hates Microsoft so much that they’ll pump money in JavaFX just to keep Silverlight down.
(Yes I was grasping at straws on that one)
They need to pump just enough money into it to make that certificate approval go away, and it will instantly eclipse Silverlight.
Anyway, now it’s only a waiting game who’s going to acquire Oracle. :-X

No, there is another.
“Dalvik has no Just-in-time compiler”
The boy doesn’t know the ways of the Force.
She’s still young, and shows promise.
If we start haunting the Android forums and generate some interest in it, desktop Dalvik could be in the future. They’re already experimenting porting Android to netbooks.
Join the darkside? Never! :
Well Java isn’t going to die. Oracle uses Java… Just the features that they don’t use might be less supported.
Dalvik isn’t going to help us in this case. It would take a fair while for it to work on all Os’s, browsers and then have features like JavaFX.
I mean, everything could happen on client side technologies; positive and/or negative. We just need to wait more and learn what Oracle will announce.
I dont think this is a slow down on desktop / whatever java. I think oracle just gained a lot. Cell phones use java a lot. This opens oracle to new things and maybe they expand there interests from server side to desktop and cell phones. I dunno its really a wait and see. I think they will get rid of mysql tho.
Oracle uses Java quite a lot actually. The only problem is, as already mentioned several times, that they focus on the enterprise server side. I’ve been at the Dutch office of Oracle a few times for training, and from the majority of people attending… it’s just not very likely that this sort of people will invest heavily in JOGL
that is what lwjgl is for
