Sun Opens Java.net

Posted by michael on from the cup-o-joe dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Sun just opened two new Java sites, java.com and java.net. java.com seems to be some marketing fluff. java.net, however, seems to be aimed at open source java programmers and is run by O'Reilly. It's got wikis, blogs, and hosts a lot of projects, including the new java gaming projects. Worth a look."

    ... to provide community sites for java? And java.net sounds like java.NET. I think there should be a seperate community site for J2EE systems with a code repository, forums and recommendations, or am I ignorant of such a site?

    >>> Java could really benifit from something along the lines of what CPAN has done for Perl

    Not really the CJAN that we want, but it's a nice repository of Java software prepackaged in RPM.

    It's not cross-platform, it's not a real standard for Java software/component distribution, but it's the best you got on Linux right now. :)
