An anonymous reader writes "Sun announced today that they would be making a number of tools available at no cost for both development and deployment in addition to reaffirming their commitment to open source the software. This is to include the Java Enterprise Syste, Sun N1 Management software, and Sun developer tools. From the announcement: "With this announcement, Sun is creating the no cost and open alternative to the Windows environment. The Solaris Enterprise System has all of the benefits of an integrated offering while still enabling customers the flexibility to address their requirements by deploying the specific components they need into alternative operating systems."

Hi All,

        AC here, ever-ready to add my invaluable insights:

        C++ and C#, are mere language specifications. Java is a 'platform', and we are all free to leap from that platform at any time we chose. Personally, I'm planning to Hibernate until Spring, when the male of the species Struts its stuff on said platform. I may even stuff some Enterprise Beans in my trunks, but lets keep that on the QT, OK ?

        I hope this clears things up.

Cheers,

AC
