Slashdot Mirror
'Java EE' Has Been Renamed 'Jakarta EE' (i-programmer.info)
An anonymous reader quotes i-Programmer:
The results are in for the vote on the new name for Java Enterprise Edition, and unsurprisingly the voters have chosen Jakarta EE. The renaming has to happen because Oracle refused to let the name Java be used. The vote was to choose between two options - 'Jakarta EE' and 'Enterprise Profile'. According to Mike Milinkovich, executive director at the Eclipse Foundation, almost 7,000 people voted, and over 64% voted in favour of Jakarta EE. The other finalist, "Enterprise Profile," came in at just 35.6% of the votes when voted ended last Friday.
"Other Java projects have also been renamed in Eclipse," notes SD Times. "Glassfish is now Eclipse Glassfish. The Java Community Process is now the Eclipse EE.next Working Group, and Oracle development management is now Eclipse Enterprise for Java Project Management Committee."

Actually no, the problems have nothing to do with Slashcode or perl. The problems were farther up stream. The entire Sourceforge family of web sites were down. This appears to be an infrastructure problem. A few days ago they were subject to a denial of service attack, and I suspect that caused some pieces of critical infrastructure to fall over. Slashdot is just one part of the bigger failure.
Today's DDoS attacks are nothing like what web sites experienced on 9/11, so comparing traffic to then is a bit silly.
Kudos to the admins for getting everything (SF.net, slashdot, etc) all back up and running. Must have been a pretty bad situation.
WTF you, going to keep spamming this shit everywhere? I've been around for years too, yes it's irritating, but I'm tired of seeing your damn comment repeatedly, it isn't helping. If anything you're contributing to DDoS issues, shut the fuck up, please.
Sorry we inconvenienced you and interrupted your normal routine. It wasn't a fun time for us either, I can assure you. We inherited an aging setup in the acquisition that was located physically far away from us. We made a big investment in a new hardware set up, and ran into sizable issues including a massive DDOS during the process. Going forward we expect much better uptime. We will be dedicating a lot of time and resources this year to improving Slashdot.
Except for 7) everything false.
I work with Java since 1995, I never had any cross platform problem. However I never wrote code for the micdro edition.
No idea what you have against oo, probably you are to dumb to use it properly?
Cost free eBook I read (by iBook/Kobo/Amazon/ObookO/Gutenberg etc.): "The Green Odyssey" by Philip Jose Farmer.
...is the reason it happened. Namely: Oracle has abandoned Java EE to the community and won't develop it further. I was under the impression that it still was pretty important in the enterprise web application scene. Why would they abandon it?
Anyway, it doesn't look good for Java EE. Without the financial support of a big company how can it hope to remain relevant?
i've run pure Java applications on Windows, Linux and MacOS. As a rule, the only issues I've seen are with path names. Java contains everything you need for platform agnostic paths but people often fail to use them..
Anyway, on your list, number 4 is true but so what? OO is a good thing. Number 7 is also true, but the main problem there is people seeing Oracle as a bogeyman instead of facing the reality of the situation. If the worst thing they are going to do is not allow Eclipse to use the Java trademark, so what.
Everything else just speaks to an irrational hatred of Java.
