BEA tackles real time Java challenge
,----[ Quote ]
| According to BEA, WebLogic Real Time 2.0 now offers 10 millisecondp
| ause times, compared to the previous 30-milliseconds in worst-case
| scenarios.
|
| By boosting performance and scalability through these combinedp
| roducts, BEA says it is putting Java in serious contention againstC
| /C++ in applications such as City trading, arbitrage, online
| gaming, logistics, travel and manufacturing.
|
| [...]
|
| While the CIO and CTO might buy into what BEA's offering, the challenge
| will lie in convincing C/C++ developers to switch to Java. BEA aims to
| entice developers through its WebLogic Workshop development environment,
| which supports Eclipse, and WebLogic Event Server's support for the open
| source Spring framework and running Plain Old Java Objects (POJOs).

Sun Set To Move On GPL License For Open-Source Java

| The GPL is an intriguing and controversial choice. By requiring
| derivative works to also be released as open source, the GPL
| discourages commercial forking -- a consequence that fits wellw
| ith Sun's stated goal of preserving Java's cross-platform
| compatibility. However, a GPL license would require those making
| changes to the core Java platform to freely release their code.
