Enough!

Java Script, Java Beans, Java Swing, Java Status Quo!? Enough!

Java Script, Java Beans, Java Swing, Java Status Quo!? Enough!

I thought this sounded familiar. It's the lyrics from that old Ink Spots song. Java Jive.

Java script,
Java bean,
Java jive,
Java swing
Java status quo?
Java gotta go!
Go cat go!

Make JavaOne Open Source!

[Lieutenant_Dan]

I think it would benefit the Open Source developer community if the minutes of the conference were made public. That would enhance the understanding that the hundreds of millions of Java developers throughout the world have of Java.

We need to be more agressive in building the respect and visibility of Java in the corporation. Only by doing so can we establish the necessary paradigm to determine the direction that the IT world, nay, the society in general has to take.

It makes me mad when I look across the look and see the cookie-cutter drones that spout Windows drivel without questioning their origins and more importantly their destinies.

Why must we live such a drab and empty existence? Why can't we challenge authority figures and build a better tomorrow. Not by force, mind you, but by knowledge. It is the only way to world peace.

So in summary, if you don't support Java, you're against world peace.

Java Status Quo

[Jeremiah Cornelius]

Microsoft needs to stop the GPL, before it ruins the whole US economy, if we could just outlaw the GPL Microsoft wouldnt need to hire Indian programmers anymore.

Monoculture produces great minds, like yours!

You - and Mr. Gates - are quite welcome to whaterver is left, after the pursuit of your brilliant agenda.

The report on ASP?

[TenDimensions]

I find it interesting that the published report is via ASP...

[Anonymous Coward]

I'm an industry leader and I have not discussed this. This story is rubbish.

[Quatzalcoatl]

Java is for elite-programmer. Is that a niche market?
