Comments on: JavaOne 2009 – Opening and General Session – First glimpse of Oracle-Sun http://technology.amis.nl/blog/5526/javaone-2009-opening-and-general-session-first-glimpse-of-oracle-sun Weblog for the AMIS Technology corner Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:47:37 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Simon Haslam http://technology.amis.nl/blog/5526/javaone-2009-opening-and-general-session-first-glimpse-of-oracle-sun/comment-page-1#comment-348417 Simon Haslam Wed, 03 Jun 2009 10:53:42 +0000 http://technology.amis.nl/blog/?p=5526#comment-348417 Interesting stuff Lucas! I see the Oracle-Sun merger as a much longer process than, say, Oracle-BEA, due to the diversity of Sun's products. I think Oracle have become quite streetwise about the politics of acquisitions though, and will hopefully be able to consolidate (and jettison) products without alienating loyal java followers. The JavaFX compared to AJAX debate will no doubt rumble on. As far as front-end technologies go I still see AJAX as relatively immature (albeit the components of it have mostly been around for a while) so it's quite possible we'll see another shakeout in a year or two. This does bring home the benefits for enterprise applications of using something like ADF (arguably more so with JHeadstart) to decouple the core application and business logic from the latest GUI trends... -Simon Interesting stuff Lucas!
