“We began our week of JavaOne coverage this morning with some of the information shared during the CommunityOne General Session. Now that the day is winding to an end, we have some additional information to pass along on Sun’s first-ever CommunityOne event. Outside of the CommunityOne General Session, other tracks throughout the day were on NetBeans, GlassFish, OpenJDK for mobile & embedded environments, OpenSolaris, Web 2.0, Startup Camp, RedMonk’s un-conference, and the discussion of Linux versus Solaris.”
Sun announced a Java layer that will run on top of a mobile Linux OS, allowing easy creation of complex and widely-compatible programs. JavaFX: http://news.com.com/Sun+aims+for+ultra-cheap+cell+phones/2100-1012_…
The difference between this and previous Java development platforms is that they’re actually going to sell this one (to companies) for money.
