Hi all,

Today read in the main page of Sun that it's bought by Oracle. They writing that Sun had financial difficulties. Transaction is valued about $7.4 billion.
More here.

From my experience I know that Oracle doesn't holds any official standards in his products. As example OC4J container. Thus the question is what's going to be with Java (in general)??


SCJP5, SCWCD5, SCBCD5, OCPJWSD5, OCMJEA 5

I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
