I agree that there is a hefty product overlap. The only thing that we can bank on is that Oracle will go forward with all of the products that we know and love from Sun (Netbeans, Glassfish, etc) as they have been known to do in past acquisitions. If you look at the Oracle BEA acquisition, they have held true to the BEA product line and continued it's development. They actually lean more towards using WebLogic for future plans as opposed to the Oracle Application Server. Let's hope that Oracle just plans to add all of the Sun product line to theirs and does not deprecate any of it...
