Sun has just acquired innotek: "Europe's leading high-tech software company specializing in PC virtualization technology and operating system design."

You can check out innotek's VirtualBox Open Source Edition at virtualbox.org.

You can also read Sun's announcement, and here's an independent review of the innotek acquisition.

Derby and Java ME

John Embretsen of Sun's Java DB team has just posted a thorough wiki page on using Derby on Java ME platforms. He also shows how to test Derby with IBM's J9 and Sun's phoneME implementations. The tips and tricks section has some good pointers. Embretsen's wiki is a good place to start. Another good place is Mayuresh Nirhali's weblog on "JavaDB on JavaME."

A More Open Java Community

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.
