Oracle promises to invest a lot in Java

    The directors of Oracle and Sun - Larry Ellison and Scott McNealy - spoke together at the JavaOne conference, where they talked about the future of Sun's assets, which were transferred to the new owner. It should be noted that this is the first public appearance of Ellison since the purchase of Sun, which occurred on April 20.

    Allison chose to remain silent about the hardware; they did not say anything about servers, processors, storage systems, network equipment and thin clients. But he spoke in detail about the future of Java technology. It promises to be bright.

    Ellison recalled that it was his company that used to be the main investor in Java technology, they all have middleware working 100% on Java. In the future, Oracle promises to continue these investments in full. The next generation of Oracle business applications (Fusion Suite) will be built entirely in Java. And this will be the first ERP and CRM package in the world built on a standard platform.

    Moreover, Ellison said that Oracle will even develop netbooks and mobile phones for Java! Although it sounds just unbelievable, but in this way Oracle is going to compete with Hewlett-Packard, Acer, Lenovo, Dell and other companies in the netbook market.
