JavaOne 2009
Posted by Wilfred Springer mid-morning: June 22nd, 2009

Two weeks ago, I presented Spring ME at JavaOne. It was an interesting conference in more than one way. Some things were just plain surreal. Larry Ellisson calling onto the OpenOffice community to work on integration of JavaFX? What was that all about? And I haven’t seen the official numbers yet, but the number of attendees must have been an all-time low. Same with the number of parties. :-(

Nevertheless, I have to say I had a marvelous week. Despite the economic slow-down, the quality of the talks was great, and it surely doesn’t seem to have prevented people from exploring new ideas. From my perspective, the big topics were Java FX (largely Sun pushing), Cloud Computing (lot of vendor push, quite some traction behind it, very little convergence) and other languages on the VM (mostly based on traction from the community).

In summary, I would say that there is pretty widespread agreement that multi-core and cloud computing have exposed some of the weaknesses of the traditional VM, language and enterprise architectures. However, Java is certainly not dead, and it is not going to anywhere soon; instead, it’s very much alive and kicking. However, there are quite a few different perspectives on how Java should evolve from all of this. And since a significant bit of the platform is driven by the community, the shake-out of these different opinions will take some time. Nevertheless, all of these initiatives are surely promising, and there seems to be a strong commons sense of avoiding ceremony. I’m sure something good will come out.

The rest of this entry are just some of the highlights I picked from my notebook.
