Will Oracle Keep Funding Sun's Pet Java Projects?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the money-to-burn dept.

gkunene writes "Oracle expects Sun to contribute to its operating profit right away. To make that happen, Oracle may pull funding and staff from projects such as JavaFX, Project Looking Glass, and Project GlassFish."

    Yeah, but Silverlight and ASP.NET bind you tightly to the Microsoft server platform.

    Server-side Java code can run on free stacks all the way down to the operating system, as well as on proprietary stacks. Silverlight/ASP.NET, not so much.

    Glassfish isn't so bad compared to other app servers and the integration between NetBeans and Glassfish has really helped a lot.

    Tomcat is a lot easier but it's not a full J2EE app server, it's only the servlet container.

    A lot of the times you don't need the full J2EE stack. Tomcat is sufficient.
