 Masood Mortazavi's BlogJ2SE ArchivesWhere was I?Posted by mortazavi on November 30, 2007 at 01:31 AM | Permalink | Comments (0)While I was away for meetings at Sun Microsystems's India Engineering Center, Eileen Alan of SDN channel posted a recent conversation I had with Kuldip Oberoi about Java DB and Apache Derby. I think Kuldip and I touched on a number of important topics about the technology, the business and Sun's general strategy behind Sun's Java DB work, and it is certainly very exciting to see the uptake by the user and developer community. It would be even more exciting as we see Java DB used for more and more database courses. I know Sun's Java DB (Apache / Derby) engineers are coming up with some very cool features and applications, too ... For a glimpse of what might be coming up, take a look at Rick Hillegas' "Saucer Separation" presentation given at ApacheCon (Atlanta, Nov. 2007) ... You might also want to check out the upcoming JavaME conference (Santa Clara, Jan. 2008) and check out JavaPolis (Anwerp, Dec. 2007), where there may be up to 4 Java DB related talks, Francois Orsini tells me. So, stay tuned, and in the meantime, don't forget to check out Orsini's blog! A More Open Java CommunityPosted by mortazavi on August 15, 2006 at 10:57 AM | Permalink | Comments (0)Expect to find yourself in a more open Java community soon. Mark Reinhold and Simon Phipps have written about the significance of new steps Sun has taken to create even a more open Java community. Sun engineers already participate in various open source activities, from Apache (witness the Beta release of Derby 10.2) to Open Solaris. So, now, java.net collaboration environment will host the open JDK community, and "Java ME code (CDC and CLDC) will also be open source around the end of the year," says Phipps.
