Whilst Sun Microsystems and Oracle are hailing Oracle’s purchase of Sun as a huge boost for Java many in the community are not so sure, wondering what kind of control Oracle will seek to exert over the platform. Continue reading it here.

The Java Community Process doesn’t exist. At least not in the way you probably think it does. This surprised even me (although it shouldn’t have), and I’ll explain here just exactly what I mean. Continue reading it here.

I woke up this morning to the news of Oracle’s agreement to buy Sun and I naturally have to wonder about what this means for Java and Java 7. Oracle has been focused on Java as the common language for enterprise software for a long time so I think this makes great strategic sense for Oracle. It raises lots of questions though. Continue reading it here.

Larry Ellison has always wanted to be the Steve Jobs of the enterprise. With this morning’s announcement that Oracle will buy Sun Microsystems for $7.4 billion, he took a big step towards making Oracle more of a soup-to-nuts provider of enterprise technology. With Sun, he will now be able to build and package together everything from chips and servers to operating systems, Java middleware, databases, and enterprise applications. Continue reading it here.

Boy, it sure was polite of Sun and Oracle to wait until the day I got back from my vacation to announce their merger, wasn’t it? I fulminated gloomily about this possibility before I left, but now that I’ve spent a day absorbing the news, I’m … slightly less gloomy. Continue reading it here.

A community weighs the pros and cons of Oracle’s new claim on Java.
While Oracle and Sun Microsystems are hailing Oracle’s purchase of Sun as a big boost for Java, others are not so sure. Some with stake in the Java ecosystem are questioning what kind of control Oracle might try to exercise over the popular software development platform, which has driven enterprise applications since its debut in 1995. Observers also expect Oracle to make a go of trying to make more money off of Java than Sun ever could. Continue reading it here.

Oracle CEO cites Java, Solaris as key components of acquisition.
Oracle may have decided to buy Sun Microsystems because it was worth far more to the database market leader than it was to IBM. It’s not a question of the price — at $7.4 billion, Oracle didn’t agree to pay much more than what IBM reportedly was considering. But Oracle may have more use for Sun’s technology than IBM ever did.

I found the JavaWorld’s Technology Insider Podcasts which is inside views on essential and emerging Java technologies from the developers shaping the future of the Java platform. I strongly recommend it.

I was looking for an e-commerce solutions based on Java.
First all I searched on google and I found the article on TechNewsWorld regarding Is E-Commerce Ready for Open Source?.
After that I read about KonaKart: Free Java-based online shopping cart on InfoQ. Thefore so far, KonaKart looks like the best e-commerce solution using java platform or the only one.
If you know any other open source Java solution for e-commerce, leave a comment here.
I will be testing KonaKart soon and I’ll sharing my experience here.
Thanks

In the last few years, the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) has undergone a major transition from GCC version 3 to version 4. With GCC 4 comes a new optimization framework (and new intermediate code representation), new target and language support, and a variety of new attributes and options. Get to know the major new features and their benefits.
GCC is the cornerstone of development in both the open source and closed source worlds. It’s the enabler of architectures and operating systems. When a new processor appears, its success depends on a version of GCC that will support it (a back end that can generate code for it). GCC is also the enabler of Linux®. Linux as an operating system is widely successful because it is run on so many different architectures. Once again, a port of GCC to the target environment enables Linux to be ported and run on it. Without trying to put too fine a point on it, GCC paves the way for Linux and embedded development.
But GCC can’t just sit still. New processor architectures continue to appear, and new research finds better ways to optimize and generate code. So GCC moves forward and has now matured into its fourth major release. This article explores the fundamental changes in GCC version 4 to show you why—if you haven’t switched yet—the time has come to use the compiler standard.
