Sender: MMXXLL (Big Du), Letter Area: Java Title: Industry Calls Java Source Code as soon as possible to open SUN hesitation to send a letter Station: One network is affectionate (July 22, 2004 15:02:36 Thursday), station letter
It seems that the entire software industry is waiting for Sun to make a decision - whether the source code of Java technology is publicly opened.
At the end of February, the vice president of IBM is responsible for the vice president of emerging technology said in a public letter that IBM is willing to establish a project with Sun to establish a project through open source development mode. And before this, "Open Source Code" motion promoters Eric S · Raymond also sent a open letter to McNile, called "Let Java becomes open".
IBM has appeal to open Java source code a few years ago, which is now mature. Smith said that IBM has prepared to provide technical support and source code to open source organization. Sun can provide company resources for public source code organizations, including Java's detailed specification, test report and source code. Previously, IBM has invested a lot of resources in Java technology, and its Java-based products have also received a high market share in the market.
So far, Sun has not officially formified. Although it is difficult to guess Sun's final decision, its "open" attitude is also given supporters of the "Open Source" sports to hope. Not long ago, Eric has received the back of Sun, requiring further discussion, "How to better utilize the 'open source' Java".
Once the recommendation is adopted, Java will completely become a free technology. Anyone or organization can submit development work for Java, while Java may also develop like Linux. Smith said: "Sun's commitment to open source Java will accelerate the development of good and compatible open source Java programs, which is beneficial to our customers and industries."
Sun Invented Java 9 years ago, Java has become the most valuable software asset of the company, and the company is working hard to get out of the most critical "chess pieces". Of course, the value of Java is not only reflected in a company, but its influence is huge. At present, approximately 250 million wireless devices that use Java technology, which are manufactured by 31 different manufacturers, and run on 75 different operators.
With January "courage" (spirit) detector successfully landed on Mars, the most "cool" application of Java was also born, and the "Java's father" of the entire process was watched in NASA Jet Promotion Laboratory. Dr. James Goodlin said, "This Java application is called Maestro." "This is obviously the coolest in Java applications so far."
Since the integrated Java brand last year, Sun has been increasing in Java. Not only re-established sales strategies, but also spent great strength on global application promotion. Sun is intending to adopt a new way to the Java software of government agencies to sell servers and desktops, such as every citizen underdeveloped countries or regions, can be used without restrictions; and recently, Sun Company is China Education and Research Computer Network created a SUN online technical training center specializing in China, which is likely to increase 100,000 Java talents in China within two years.
SUN is responsible for developing tools and Java software, Rich Green, Rich Green, disclosed annual "Java and Open System Developer Assembly", will be optimized for Java application software in the latest J2SE 1.5 development platform launched in this summer. And reduce the number of programmers to include the number of codes to increase its competitiveness with Microsoft and .NET series development tools. Although Java tools and their configuration software are widely used, it is generally considered to be more complex and more difficult to complicate than Microsoft related tools, easily develop and configure the most important goal of Sun and other software providers.
In fact, in the Java camp, it has never reached a unified advice on how to develop Java. At the end of December 2003, Sun decided not to join the opponent IBM dominant Eclipse open source tool project. The project was founded by IBM in 2001 and has received approximately 50 corporate members and many Java programmers. Although the organization is getting detached from IBM, Sun believes that even becoming an independent organization, IBM's impact does not be ignored. IBM did not join the JTC (Java Tools Community, Java Toolpoint) alliance jointly initiated by Sun, BEA, etc., and the alliance's goal is to provide a simpler and efficient Java tool for developers. But both parties say that this does not mean that there is no possibility of joining the other party, after all, they have a common competitor.
Just because Java technology huge value and influence, Sun is very cautious. Dr. Goodlin said that Sun has been considering whether or how to open Java open source, but these internal discussions have never reached the conclusion of "fully open source". He said that this thing is too complicated.
