Story: Sun open-sources mobile Java UI toolkit
Sun open-sources mobile Java UI toolkit
This of course is another example of Sun's willingness to propagate the "Java is everywhere" theme.
Admirable no doubt, but perhaps it's always worth remembering what Jonathan Schwartz said at JavaOne this year: "When you want support and service, just give us a call." They not in it for charity's sake are they?
Sun's partners and customers alike have a renewed focus on application performance - and this doesn't appear to have been a major part of this announcement. Also, free it may be - but this isn't just about lower cost open-source solutions, it should be about technically superior ones too shouldn't it?
Just themes it would have been nice to hear resonated I guess.
It's certainly in keeping with the so-called 'adoption-led’ model of software distribution described by Sun's chief open-source officer Simon Phipps.
