Java in 2009


Today the last day of 2009, people say time to look back on the year passed by and prepare to  welcome a new year.For me a New Year day is just like any other day.. I feel and live the day of New Year just like all other days.

For Java Community, the year 2009 was major acquisitions like,
Oracle buying Sun,
Terracotta took over the Quartz and ehCache open source frameworks,
SpringSource acquire G2One and Hyperic, 
VMWare acquire SpringSource.

Other interesting development is happening in JVM languages. Groovy, Scala, Clojure, and JRuby gained more popularity this year. JVM is getting remodelled as a platform for other languages.

The fight of dominance in the world RIA is continiuing with Java FX, Flex. Microsoft Silverlight is alos in the race. I feel Adobe has the upper hand in the RIA world.

Cloud Computing continued be discussed in 2009 . Cloud got prominence as IT world start thinking of ways to reduce cost. Google is the most prominent player in this area.Sun, Microsoft recent joined this arena. Microsoft with Azure Platform. Google currently not supporting Java , but urges developer to go with Python.

2010 we may see the languages other Java getting more acceptance.But Java will continue to be strong and will be the most powerful of all. OSGI world seems to busy with projects like Gemini.

Have a great year ahead !!!.
