Hello All Thanks for comments but now there is the following:
Community of developers using Java environment and same programming language, is concerned about the further fate of a popular development in the light of the impending takeover Sun Microsystems by Oracle. Large software vendors also believe that Java will happen around pretty much incomprehensible. Mark Little, technical director of middleware software in Red Hat, said that the intention of Oracle and open community of developers Java, are likely to have little in common. "Views of the development of Java for Oracle and third-party developers are likely to be different" - he said. "Oracle is much more focused on the monetization of technology than Sun. This fact should push the company into a more tight control over Java, than it was at Sun. Such an approach would benefit the most of Oracle, but significantly limit the ability of third-party users of Java". General Manager, SpringSource, a member of the VMware, Rob Johnson, also did not expect from Oracle any gifts to open community of developers. "I do not think that Oracle will do something foolish for Java, it is not a stupid company," - he said. Recall that SpringSource offers its own Java-development environment Spring and supports an open Java-server Tomcat. In most Oracle does not comment on plans for the development of products Sun, saying that on January 27 will provide full roadmep. Previously, the company announced that Java - this is one of the key assets that have become attractive to corporations. In addition, Oracle reported that intend to increase investment in Java, but did not say in whose interests it is they would be held. Today, open community of Java-developers published an open letter addressed to heads of corporations Larry Ellison's request simply to continue the course of Java, to take another Sun. The letter notes that Sun has made a positive weight for Java, so that this environment is the basis not only of Oracle, and HP, IBM and BEA Systems. Extremely important is to continue to remain open course for Java (the letter). "When the Sun in 2006 took the decision to open Java, then this environment at that time was the world's most popular. It is important for Oracle to maintain continuity, but did not consider Java as a competitive weapon in the fight against the same IBM or Microsoft", - said Little. In addition, the expert said that even if Oracle and Java take a rod of iron, the IT community, it will not become a catastrophe. First, the market is open application servers such as JBoss or WebLogic, and secondly, there is increasing cross-platform language capable of competing with Java. "Until present Oracle quite wisely, but solely in their interest to use the purchased company. Let's see what will be happen to the Sun", - summarized Little. "Many developers are not too concerned about the fate of Java itself. At the moment a lot of companies is creating Java-software, but the main work has come not directly from Java, but with additional functionality, which considers Java as a foundation."
