6u10 is out! We finally know the value for N in the equation 6uN .. N = 10. A (web.archive.org) set of slides have been posted discussing what's new. This release started out as Consumer JRE and became more, and more, and more, etc.. It's a relief to have this out in the public. The DLJ bundles for 6u10 are also available.
6u10beta is available.. please test it..!

How does Node.js compare to a traditional MVC platform like Spring?

Node.js is a young software development platform. It's only about 6 years old, and many software developers are still unsure about where Node.js fits into the landscape. It's JavaScript, which many people pigeon-hole as a browser language, but Node.js doesn't run on browsers but on servers. The question above illustrates a fundamental confusion about what Node.js is, and its role in the world, because it is not an "MVC" but a complete programming platform.

Is Java 10 yrs old, or 15 yrs old?
Is there a standard way to deploy a Java application? I've been thinking about this a bit recently and a comment on the javaposse google group tipped me into blogging mode. While (web.archive.org) discussing the recent shipping of JDK 6u10 Reinier Zwitserloot said On windows, and on linux, there is no java at all. It has to be installed separately. This is supremely annoying. There are odds the linux user has e.g. debian/ubuntu openjdk-6 installed, and on windows there's a chance that the manufacturer has shipped an auto-updating JDK out of the box, but there's no certainty there. On macs, at least, you know there's always a java, and a well integrated, if non-standard, way to deploy. ... outside the obvious statement of it would be nice for Java to be there in the operating system so it can be an assumed part of the infrastructure (thanks to OpenJDK we're moving in that direction for free OS's) this thought that there is a 'standard' way to deploy a Java app strikes me as being a little odd.

Microsoft announces readiness to join OpenJDK project, any sign of Hell Freezing Over? Today Microsoft sent an email to the primary mailing list of the OpenJDK project making an announcement many thought would never happen. That Microsoft is ready to contribute work to the OpenJDK project. Those of us with long enough memory recall the turmoil in the software industry because of Microsoft's predatory approach to Java nearly twenty years ago. In recent years Microsoft has had a huge change of policy, and is now readily working with all kinds of open source projects. That Microsoft is willing to join the OpenJDK project is a grand step forward, and is incredibly welcomed.

The rise and death (sort of) of Java In 1995, with great fanfare, Java was unleashed on the world. It was going to give us interactive web pages, and also run on the server, and by having Java at both ends of the Internet programmers would live in nirvana. While Java is still hugely popular on the server, it died on the browser due to security bugs and the success of JavaScript in the browser. With Node.js letting programmers use JavaScript on the server, we can achieve nirvana using a different language - JavaScript.

The upcoming JCP Java ME Executive Committee Election Just in case you're not all election'd out, and just in case the recent election in the U.S. gave you some hope that things can change through elections, here's an opportunity to affect the direction of Java ME. JCP Java ME EC Election: Vote now for a Voice for Independent Developers by Terrence Barr is a good outline of circumstances related to the JCP and Java ME.

Tools to fit the work, and what's in a look and feel?
US Supreme Court rules Google's use of Java SE API is 'fair use' Today, the US Supreme Court settled, in Google's favor, an important part of the long-running lawsuit between Oracle and Google over the latter's use of the Java SE API in Android. The ruling determined that while indeed Oracle had a valid copyright over the Java API, that Google's use of that API falls under Fair Use. The result negates Oracle's ability to win damages from Google, but more importantly validates programmers freedom to reuse API definitions. An Oracle win in this case would have had a chilling effect on programmer freedom.
