		<description><![CDATA[With the release of Java 7 Standard Edition programming language finally out of the way, it did not take long for discussions speculating on Java 8s features to pop up.    Members of the Java Community Process and those affiliated with Oracle have begun churning out ideas on what to include with the future release, and one area that seems to be of particular importance is that of prepping Java 8 for the cloud.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[In order to maintain a timely release date, Oracle had to ship Java 7 without several advanced features that the company had planned for the platform.  While those omissions may be a letdown, it is quite likely that such features could be included in Java 8.  Mark Little, the senior director of engineering for Red Hat's middleware business and Red Hat's primary liaison for the Java Community Process, said,  Java 8 is supposed to set the scene for the cloud, for a wider deployment arena.   According to Little, two key features will be necessary to give Java 8 capabilities for wide-scale cloud d...]]></content:encoded>

		<description><![CDATA[It may have taken a while, but it appears as if Java 7 will finally become available in the near future.  Obstacles such as ownership changes and other delays stood in the way of Java 7's development, but Oracle unveiled the programming language's first release candidate last week.  The official launch of Java 7 is expected to take place later this month.  To give interested parties a taste of what's to come, Oracle discussed some of Java 7's features during a global event last Thursday.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[Mark Reinhold, Oracle's chief architect of the Java platform group, said:  quot;Probably the most significant thing is the fact that we're finally shipping it.  It has been almost five years now and for various political and business reasons this release has taken some time. quot;  As mentioned, ownership changes were one obstacle that helped delay the release of Java 7.  Oracle purchased Sun in 2010 for a cool $7.4 billion.  Reinhold credited the shift as one of the factors behind Java's revitalized focus.  As with any new release, there are many changes and improvements to look forward to.  ...]]></content:encoded>

We will be showcasing add-ons for several different categories, including reporting, mobile app development, database development, and GUI (graphical user interface).]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[One of the most important abilities for any application you develop is to be able to print out reports based on user submitted data or data from a database. This can include information for financial programs, user management - virtually any information you want to see in a clean layout.  While you can achieve this solely with the Java language and some formatting functions, at the end of the day why bother when you can use a pre-built, tested plug-in? Keeping that in mind, the first plug-in I want to highlight is very popular for creating reports - in fact, it is one of (if not the) most down...]]></content:encoded>

		<description><![CDATA[Oracle revealed some details regarding its future release of Java Enterprise Edition 7 last week at the Jax conference in San Jose, California.  Although many features were leaked, the highlight of the discussion was Java EE 7's PaaS (platform-as-a-service) capabilities for cloud computing.  Java EE 7 is slated for release sometime during the third quarter of 2012.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[By giving Java EE 7 PaaS capabilities, the platform would offer the runtime environment needed to run a Java application in the cloud.  Oracle Java EE platform lead Linda Demichiel spoke of the reasoning behind developing Java EE 7's cloud qualities during the conference:  What our main goal is, is making the Java EE platform ready for use in the cloud so that you can deploy your Java EE apps into a cloud environment. quot;    To make PaaS possible in Java EE 7, changes in the form of small programming models, new platform roles, and multi-tenancy support would have to be introduced.

		<description><![CDATA[Google could become billions of dollars poorer in the future, that's if Oracle wins their current patent and copyright infringement lawsuit versus the search engine giant.  Last week, Oracle made its claims public in a San Francisco federal court, where the company said it is seeking $6.1 billion dollars from Google.  At the heart of the case is Google's Android software that runs on mobile devices, which Oracle says has been using technology related to its Java programming language.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[As expected, there is plenty of disagreement between the two parties when it comes to the monetary damages.  Oracle backed its claims in a filing when it noted that the monetary figures  are based on both accepted methodology and a wealth of concrete evidence.   Google's lawyers, on the other hand, begged to differ:  A breathtaking figure that is out of proportion to any meaningful measure of the intellectual property at issue.  Even the low end of the range  is over 10 times the amount that Sun Microsystems Inc. made each year for the entirety of its Java licensing program and 20 times what S...]]></content:encoded>

		<description><![CDATA[Oracle released Java 6 Update 26 on June 8.  While the update was part of Oracle's regular schedule when it comes to Java releases, it was of particular importance due to the various security vulnerabilities it patched.  In all, 17 remote execution vulnerabilities in Java were closed.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[The 17 patched vulnerabilities were not only found in Java itself, but also in browser plugins.  According to Oracle, the vulnerabilities provided hackers an avenue to execute code on affected systems remotely and without authentication.  Nine of the holes were considered to be severe, earning risk ratings of 10 out of 10 in cases where Administrator accounts on Windows machines were affected.  Much of the severity of these ratings was due to the fact that hackers could essentially take control of the machines once in.  The browser-based Java Runtime Environment plugin was a focus of the updat...]]></content:encoded>

<pubDate>Thu, 26 May 2011 08:30:05 -0400</pubDate>
<link>http://www.devshed.com/c/a/Java/Oracle-Now-Offering-JRockit-for-Free/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[Back in September of last year, Oracle announced that it was working on merging its Java HotSpot Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and JRockit JVM.  The plan was to take the best features of each implementation and combine them into a single JVM that would take the market by storm.  Such a move not only required work in the realm of engineering, but also licensing.  In a recent blog post by JRockit's program manager Henrik Stahl, he revealed that the work is finally complete, and the license under which the Oracle (Sun) JDK and JRockit are distributed has been updated.  The new license is based on Sun's old Binary Code License that was tied to many Java downloads throughout the years, although it comes with some modifications of its own.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[The major change with the license is that the JRockit JVM is now free for both internal use and development on general purpose computers.  Kahl listed a couple of reasons for the conversion of JRockit to a free status in his blog post:  Since we are converging the JVMs technically it makes sense to treat them as a single  quot;product quot; with two different incarnations/implementations. Second, by making JRockit free we hope to get more feedback on any regressions in the converged JVM vs current JRockit, which will help our convergence project.  As far as commercial features are concerned, t...]]></content:encoded>

		<description><![CDATA[At its annual I/O conference, Google unveiled the newest release of App Engine, version 1.5.0. The latest edition of its platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering features new Backends for both Java and Python.]]></description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[So what exactly is a Backend? It's a special App Engine instance with no request deadline, higher memory and CPU limits, and a persistent state across requests. If you're creating an application that takes up a lot of memory and runs for a long time, you'll appreciate how a Backend can be a  potential game changer.  That's the word from Peter Magnusson, the engineering manager in charge of Google's App Engine.  Backends give programmers a lot more flexibility than they might otherwise have. Illuminating this point in answer to a question, Magnusson explained that  Backends allows you to add yo...]]></content:encoded>
