[This letter from the Eclipse Foundation is in response to last week's open
letter to the Eclipse community published January 30, 2004]
"Eclipse welcomes the open dialogue from Sun and appreciates the recognition
of Eclipse that it provides. We believe that working together with Sun and
others in the Java community to make sure that we all address "the big
picture" is a very positive approach.
Sun has made several good points in its letter and we openly invite them to
continue the positive, forward-looking discussions with Eclipse that have
been underway for several months.
To be clear, the invitation remains open for Sun to join Eclipse at the Board
of Directors level. This invitation -- extended unanimously by the Eclipse
Stewards -- does not require Sun to abandon or in any way deprecate the
NetBeans p... (more)
The publicity that AJAX grabbed over the last half a year is based on closing
the gap between the Web applications and the desktop applications, combining
the "reach" and "rich." At the same time, the gap between the technological
level of AJAX and what corporate developers expect in their modern arsenal is
really astonishing. After all, AJAX is neither a tool nor a platform. There
is no AJAX standards committee or community process in place. While software
vendors are crafting proprietary development platforms on top of AJAX (which
pretty much means "from scratch"), early adopters of AJAX are left on their
own.
In Part 1 (JDJ, Vol. 10, issue 9) we touched on the foundation of AJAX - the
ability to establish script-to-server communication. This is what makes HTML
pages dynamic and responsive. Does it mean we are ready to kick-off our own
version of Yahoo mail? No, ... (more)

Take Microsoft, for example: A new client OS is on the way, Microsoft Vista,
due late in 2006, giving rise to the obvious question: will the new cool 3D
user interface be enough to move user to upgrade? We’ll see. Maybe the
new built-in security, performance features, and integrated search will be
enough to convince users – after all, why go to the Web if built-in
web-enabled services and integrated information search allow the Web to come
to you?
Or consider the world of PDA Devices. Everyone is looking for the next killer

The United States government has accused Robert Moffat, IBM’s server chief,
the guy who was negotiating to buy Sun, with betraying Sun’s financial
position to Danielle Chiesi, an employee of New Castle Partners, a New York
hedge fund, so she could trade on the insider information.
Moffat knew what Sun’s numbers were going to be because he was one of the
nine IBMers doing due diligence at Sun this past January.
In a wire-tapped phone call Chiesi made to an unidentified person now
cooperating with the government’s investigation she said, “IBM is looking
at it as a takeover. The only reason my guy would know that is because it’s
his deal. Like, he’s in bed with them….You see what I mean…not because
he’s just speculating.”
The news that IBM was negotiating to buy Sun didn’t leak to the Wall Street
Journal and hence to the world for another two months.

IBM CEO Sam Palmisano is going to designate his heir apparent in 12-18 months
by naming a president or operating chief, according to the Wall Street
Journal.
Handicappers say the mantle is likely to fall on the shoulders of Virginia
Rometty, 53, who led the integration of PriceWaterhouseCoopers' consulting
arm, got her services card punched and in the three quarters she's been
running sales has managed to up the number 5.8%. Obviously she would be IBM's
first female captain.
Also reportedly in the race are Global Services chief Michael Daniels, 56,
who may be too old and Rodney Adkins, 52, the African-American, who held the
server unit together after Robert Moffat got arrested in the Galleon Group
insider-trading case.
He would be IBM's first minority CEO. He's recently been given the job of
chasing business in Africa but lacks services experience.

today introduced SpringSource Cloud Foundry, a new Enterprise Java Cloud
offering that enables developers to deploy and manage Spring, Grails and Java
