Having problems with message search?
I am not too excited about this development. Oracle is a huge corporation and I think Java, Netbeans, Mysql will only get more complex and out of the reach of the small developers. I will use Posgres for my next project and it will probably be my second Ruby On Rails project. I still think Java is a great language + VM and Java is a strong option for deploying projects - I am considering using JRuby. But I feel it's behind the curve in terms of innovation and it will only get more bogged down in the new business environment.

The rumor I saw on Twitter was that the JCP was going away regardless so it may be a moot point.
Out of all the major players I can think of I feel best about Oracle owning Sun. They seem to come from similar mindsets.
The funny part is if this had happened back in 2000 the dotcom CTOs would have had a much easier job. The Weblogic and Oracle running on top of an E10K could have been purchased from one place!
They could have called it the trendy startup special.

What do you guys think it means for Java?
Ellison called it (Java) Oracle's most important software acquisition ever, particularly citing their middleware (WebLogic, OAS, now Glasfish) as their fastest growing segment of their business. Thus, Entprise Java, JEE, will be in great shape.
But what will happen to the JCP, client side Java, etc?
