OSGi Survey Results

kirkk — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 06:55:32 +0000

Last week, I opened the 2nd Annual OSGi Survey. The survey concluded early Tuesday, with more than 250 developers taking the survey (last year, 64 took the survey).

But the results were interesting nonetheless, and offers some insight to how OSGi is perceived and used. Here are...

DZone has assembled a collection of news coverage and 'Tweets' from around the Web (this list will be updated throughout the week -- feel free to post additional links in response to this thread):

Oracle's Effect on Java

jsugrue — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 15:45:22 +0000

With Oracle just after buying Sun, maybe it's time to consider what this means for the Java community. There's no doubt that enterprise Java is something that Oracle have huge interest in, and will probably help nudge this along. Two things that I would really like to see are continued, and improved, investment into Java on the client side, as well as getting things back on track for Java 7.
