Java Quotations

However, when Java is promoted as the sole programming language, its flaws and limitations become serious.

Mark Hammond is working in this area, with Windows Scripting Host. It is definitely an area where Python fits almost perfectly. That's quite independent from Java, actually.

I'm just an observer of Java, and where Microsoft wants to go with C# is too early to tell.

What's kept Java from being used as widely as possible is there hasn't been an Open Source implementation of it that's gotten really widespread use.

Web services are only going to work if Java and .Net are going to be interoperable.

Through 2001, pure Java applications will be limited in the amount of transaction support they offer for high-end computing, but they will provide mission-critical support in more than 60 percent of deployed applications.

We knew we wanted to head down the Java path, based on our internal capabilities and our team's expertise. But we didn't know that we wanted to go open source.

With this new version, we continue to enhance Berkeley DB Java Edition with a focus on performance for highly concurrent systems. Berkeley DB Java Edition is the ideal choice for developers seeking fast, local persistence with zero administration and a pure Java solution.

We're seeing it now with a big migration from Java to PHP in Web development.

I fear - as far as I can tell - that most undergraduate degrees in computer science these days are basically Java vocational training.

After all, C++ isn't a perfect match for Java's design aims either

Java isn't platform independent; it is a platform

This evolution may compromise Java's claim of being simpler than C++, but my guess is that the effort will make Java a better language than it is today.

We have said all along that we encourage our licensees to innovate the Java platform. But it must be done in such a way that passes Sun's compatibility tests.

There are two types of businesses -- the ones that buy into Microsoft and those that don't. The people who bought into the Microsoft world probably won't switch to Mono. The other people -- those using Java or LAMP might do, though.

We've taken this action because believe it is necessary to preserve the value of the Java technology.

C++ and Java, say, are presumably growing faster than plain C, but I bet C will still be around.

Let's not be confused. We all sit on the same side of the fence: all Java is good, all standards are good.

Millions of consumers who use Windows also use Java every day. Any consumer using Windows today can easily access and use Java.

Of all the companies I deal with worldwide, most have decided that they're going to go Java come hell or high water. But -- and this is a big but -- they don't know how they're going to do it.

Rich media is now important for the Internet, be it Java animation or audio, ... The time is right and the systems are in place to present rich media.

If you are a wireless service provider, your revenue model is increasingly based on interactive content. They are likely to generate some interesting content by looking to the large base of Java developers.

We are focusing our energy on 20 or 30 sites that would give Java to anyone for free. Yahoo! sponsors a lot of Java-based games. They would be motivated to keep that site fresh.

Harrods' selection of Sun's Java Integration Suite is a testament to the depth and breadth of its capabilities and its broad adoption in a number of markets, including retail. We look forward to helping Harrods establish a common view of data across the organization to more effectively serve its customer base and reach the next level of integrated multi-channel retail operations.

I think there is a very good chance Java will by far be the dominant platform. We have folks in the product development arm that walk around half the day worried about better battery life on devices. They are really into this stuff. That is the sign of maturation in a technology, and it creates a real barrier of entry to others.

Java Studio Creator 2 is an update to Sun's Java Studio product, which is a new generation tool attempting to simplify Java development. Java Studio Creator 2 is trying to make the Java platform more attractive to developers coming from a Microsoft Windows or 4GL tool environment.

Java and PHP compete at some level. Get over it,

Java and PHP compete at some level and I think it's great,

Our goal has always been to foster industry participation in the usage and development of the Java technology, while preserving a unified platform. The new model achieves that balance while opening participation to anyone and enabling collaboration among the participants. This guarantees far more rapid innovation than ever before possible.

Many Fortune 1000 companies today are telling us they are tired of lack of integration across the spectrum of software they use to run their business -- and even more frustrating, the amount they have to pay for it. A company of GM's caliber adopting the Java ES is a tremendous endorsement of ... (the) ability to bring an integrated system to customers, large and small, that can dramatically lower their software IT costs.

Matisse is a new visual GUI builder that allows developers to save a lot of time laying out their GUIs. This has been a huge problem in the Java industry for many years. This is the big, new, hot feature that the developers are really clamoring for.

I still think that Visual Studio .NET is superior to any of the Java tools for Web Services, even if it's only by a little. Microsoft has a clear advantage for rapid application development.

Microsoft is appealing the District Court's preliminary ruling because Microsoft does not believe any preliminary injunction should have been ordered. We are confident that Microsoft has developed the best Java implementation within the terms of our contract with Sun and in the best interests of Java developers and consumers.

We'll be using Java Enterprise System for identity management and portal services.

We thought about it and said we've put Java on a billion and a half cell phones. We know about putting software on small devices.

We believe Sun's legal strategy is shortsighted because we believe it limits choice among software developers to get the best Java implementation.

The problem is that Netscape's implementation of Java did not adhere to Java Sandbox guidelines, which is basically designed to protect users from Java code.

With the announcement today, Sun is making an early move to capture the growing integration market with a complete and affordable Java ES stack to address both security and integration, two of the leading concerns for IT managers today, ... Adding the premier suite for integration and composite application development to the Java ES and then combining with Solaris 10 further establishes Sun as a mainstream, end-to-end provider of software for the development and deployment of enterprise applications. And we're just warming up.

With its support for Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE), in addition to its pioneering support of JSR 170, Day CRX provides a content infrastructure that is 'future-proof' and sustainable, thus reducing the risk of proprietary vendor lock-in for all of Day's customers.

We're hoping to make it the single place where customers can go when they're looking for Java products. It hasn't really been done by anybody else.

This week's ruling is not a big deal; it's an extremely small win for Microsoft. Microsoft gets to continue using Sun's version of Java in their products.

What motivates people, other than money, is satisfaction. Java as a technology is a skill that is satisfying, and those who work in it tend to work on the fun projects. They have a keen eye for the business impact of their efforts. So spinning them off into Internet-commerce groups is a good idea.

Computing is no longer just about PCs, laptops or even cell phones, but rather about the promise of pervasive computing -- which will largely be enabled by sensors. This announcement will allow Java -- just as it did with cell phones and the Internet -- to play a pivotal role in enabling the coming wave of sensor driven computing.

First of all, we're making money with Java now,

The SCA6000 is a powerful tool that will be used to prevent attacks on enterprise networks and servers. For Java and C applications, as well as security protocols, cryptographic keys can be securely stored and operated on within the SCA6000's secure key store - resistant to network, software, insider, and physical attacks.

The technical community has to realize that they need to be able to communicate on all levels. We think the entire world knows what Java is, but there are people out there who still think that's coffee.

SAP is going to retain a lot of its proprietary ABAP code in developing its next generation SOA applications whereas Oracle's approach is to try to get away from legacy and proprietary code and move to a pure Java J2EE environment. Even though the task Oracle has is more complicated in that they have to integrate applications from multiple acquisitions, they will achieve a more open kind of environment.

Proprietary technology relegates you either to a niche or to the ditch. We're growing our market opportunity by steadfastly open sourcing the entirety of our software portfolio--from the Solaris OS to Java developer tools--and now we're taking the next step by open sourcing the world's most innovative microprocessor under the GPL. Giving our customers more choice and driving community innovation expands our economic opportunity and is forcing our competitors to sit up and take notice--we are back on offense.

Project Matisse epitomizes the finest qualities of the Java desktop renaissance. No other tool I have tried makes it so easy to get it right in the design of a Java GUI, and the code it generates is both clean and comprehensible.

Specifically, my favorite tool in Java is hot code swapping in debug mode, meaning I can edit the code while the game is running and immediately see the results in the running game. This is super great for rapid tweaking.

Companies can bring their own assets in the form of Java code and Web services and stitch those into this product.

AOL says people want a managed online experience, and the way to do that is through Java. And for Sun this would be a tremendous opportunity because it would the first time they'll be getting Java into the home.

This announcement will allow Java -- just as it did with cell phones and the Internet -- to play a pivotal role in enabling the coming wave of sensor-driven computing.

This is a move to embrace more of the Java Enterprise System in particular the portal and the identity components.

A lot of it has to do with our love for the java bean. It seems to be logical that you'd want to top off with a cup of coffee and a tank of gas.

They're frustrated that it's taken so long to get Java into the standards bodies, but we aren't hearing many complaints about performance.

As we enter the Participation Age, the requirement for developers to provide richer Web experiences to attract increasingly Web savvy audiences only continues to grow. And today's 4.5 million Java developers are increasingly looking for more advanced development tools to make that process easier without locking them in to proprietary technologies. With today's announcement, Sun is further demonstrating our commitment to this community by delivering Java Studio Creator 2, the leader in building standard Java applications with advanced features like AJAX-enabled components, while still maintaining an incredible level of ease-of-use.

All of us who attended the meeting -- including Microsoft -- unanimously agreed that unilaterally extending the Java programming language would hurt compatibility among Java tools and programs, would injure other tools vendors, and would damage customers' ability to run a Java-based software product on whatever platform they wished,

The more we get out there, the more confident we are that users want the promises of Java. We're going to continue to drive Java with all our partners, and I think the users will vote on this one.

Eclipse is much earlier in its lifespan. They made good progress with the core Java developer tool.

Sun's vision of computing is a promising one because it will allow a great variety of clients to participate on networks without the prior installation of special protocol stacks and LAN-specific software drivers on each client machine. Instead, the software drivers can be delivered via Java technology, on a just-in-time basis, as needed. Interoperability will be enhanced, and that interoperability will be good for end users both in the office and at home.

Sun is delighted to have received these awards from Developer.com as recognition of the advancements we are making to the Java developer community. By working closely with the Java developer and open source communities and incorporating their input within our technology, we have continued to build on the overwhelming success of Java and of Sun's Java technology. We truly appreciate the community's involvement in these advancements and we look forward to continuing our collaboration and success.

Sun identified China as a major player in the world IT space years ago and made a concerted effort to introduce and encourage the adoption of Java technologies that is paying off in mindshare and use among Chinese wireless developers today.

Sun currently enjoys no competition regarding Java, and fiercely fights against any attempt to 'open' Java to any and all comers. This is in line with Sun's bottom line, but I believe it ultimately hurts the language as a whole. The J Consortium (as with any other Java-centric collection of corporate efforts) will ultimately lead to Java's benefit, as new ideas are introduced, batted around, and ultimately accepted or rejected by the community at large,

It's an even smaller deal, given Microsoft's take on Java right now, which is that they're really trying to de-emphasize it in favor of other technologies, notably, XML for integration and their own ActiveX and other technologies,

I vehemently disagree. Is Java at the end of life? We think Java is just kicking in.

Any time you go from client/server to Java and Web services, you're going to run into some amount of that.

Instead of programming a keyboard, mouse and screen, a Java programmer can program something that fits in the palm of their hand. Instead of reading mouse clicks, the sensors are reading hand waves and light changes.

Now, it's my belief that Python is a lot easier than to teach to students programming and teach them C or C++ or Java at the same time because all the details of the languages are so much harder. Other scripting languages really don't work very well there either.

I need some Starbucks. What about you? (Cassandra) Always game for java. Give me ground-up beans or give me death. (Katra)

If I were to pick a language to use today other than Java, it would be Scala

I think it would be a tragic statement of the universe if Java was the last language that swept through.

Java is C++ without the guns, knives, and clubs

The future of Java is to become an underlying programming framework that nobody makes any money on. It becomes a commodity.

I was interested in Java the beginning, but the problem with Java is you do have to switch your platform.

The Java services are not quite mature enough for full EAI. This technology is going to be essential, and companies will want it in-house.

The Java services are not quite mature enough for full EAI, ... This technology is going to be essential, and companies will want it in-house.

The Java foundation technology Java SE is not included in open source.

I did write some code in Java once, but that was the island in Indonesia.

The reason for that is Sun and Apple haven't worked that closely on Java in the past.

And you guys were putting Java in light bulbs and everything else,

You're not going to have to lug around 20 MB of Java 2 on your back to throw into Windows every time you want to run your app. It's going to be there right out of the box on every Mac,
