Let Java have nothing and providing a unified Java to facilitate its implementation of Sun's key objectives in the programming language of it invented, on Tuesday, SUN officials at SUN company in the Javaone conference in San Francisco said.
John Fowler, the Chief Technology Officer of the Sun Software, executive, Jonathan Schwartz and Sun Software, the current Java still has several independent versions, which are for enterprise applications, mobile communication applications, and Java card development applications. However, in this way, Sun is still working hard between various Java versions to provide a unified interface to the outside, and these officials said. Sun is doing some work in order to ensure that the development of each version of Java is no longer independent, so it can make the development of people developed with Java more easily.
Schwartz first expressed its appreciation for Java success, and then emphasized that Java platforms and technologies continue to be improved, and it is necessary to involve other more broad areas, such as handheld equipment, power facilities and games. . He also said that all 500 companies in the world are using Java technology. "I think Java has achieved any people who have not thought about anyone in the past five or six years, Schwartz said.
He also stressed that Java has deepened into client development, server development, desktop application development, handheld equipment development, and Web service development, etc.. "Most of the Web services that are now preparing to build will be implemented in Java," he added. According to Schwartz, now there are about 500 million desktop systems to run Java.
Schwartz said that Java technology will be applied to printers, televisions, network cameras, cash register, PDA, and even devices such as natural gas pumps. However, Java's unity is necessary, and there is a need for a common platform to organize a variety of different parts. He emphasized that no one wants to use a technology to develop a variety of architectures.
"In order to achieve this goal, we have begun to build a network platform. We have done some work to ensure that those mobile devices can interact with desktop applications, and those desktop programs can also interact with the server", Schwartz said. He strongly advocates a single platform called "Java System" that uses this platform to provide a consistent user interface to the outside of each of Java's different versions.
All versions of Java, J2ME, J2SE, J2EE, etc. must be integrated, becoming a system, which simplifies the development of developers, and can promote Java's developers from now to 3 million to 10 million to 15 million. Schwartz said. "If we have to do this unified, we can use the platform we have already built. Of course, we have to further enhance the platform", he said.
In addition, Fowler emphasizes that in order to ensure that it is resistant to Microsoft's .NET platform, Sun is ready to improve the Java platform, such as enhanced programmability, so that development applications is easier to play. Make program development easier to be the main objective of J2EE and J2SE 1.5.
Sun is now developing a project called "Fast Web Services Everywhere). This project uses the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) instead of XML as an interface definition language (Idl), using Binary Wire Protocol to improve the performance of the web service. This will enhance the performance of the Web service five to ten times, and Fowler said. Schwartz also introduced new LOGO to Java, which is slightly different from the original coffee cup symbol of Java. "We have realized that the brand can produce huge economic benefits. At the same time, the brand can drive the public's cognition." Schwartz said, "The public means that you can sell your products more easily". "
A user has expressed highly appreciated by the behavior of Sun introducing new LOGO. "They try to expand the existing Java market. It is very interesting. There is also a new Java's new image sign and a new Java.com website." Boeing IT Manager Herb Bowie said, "I think this behavior is very meaningful, Especially Java is entering mobile communication, cellular telephone business ... For example, if anyone bought a PC, he wants to know that this machine is not an inter-Troad processor. If he bought a mobile phone, he You can know that this phone can run Java programs. "
Another user believes that if the Java platform is strong enough, Microsoft is not an opponent, it is impossible to hurt Java. Cambridge BBN Technology Software Development Scientist Gary Kratkiewicz said: "If Java is strong enough, there is enough energy, then Microsoft has no ability to stop its development."
Sun announced at this conference:
Sun developer mobile communication process starts to provide resources for development, testing, verifying J2ME applications, and developing roads to consumers and companies
Start the company's communication process to provide mobile communication solutions to enterprise users
Start two websites, Java.com is used to promote consumer products and partners using Java, Java.net is a Java developer and innovally web portal.
With the support of mobile communication manufacturers such as Motorola, Nokia, Siemens and Sony Ericsson, Sun announced a reunification of the application testing and vendor certification procedures, which can accelerate the availability and service of embedded Java wireless devices.
For Sun One (Open Network Environment, development network environment) Portal Server, Mobile Access 6.2 enhances the interaction of information and data between Sun One Portal Server and handheld devices.
According to Sun, J2SE1.4.2 is an important feature that increases about 30% startup time. This version is updated with Opangl to provide more powerful expressiveness, but also supports the appearance of WindowsXP and Linux.
