Reading the Wall Street Journal, I saw the Justice Department is extending the review of the Sun acquistion by Oracle. Ben Worthen, pointed out in the article, In April, Oracle Chief Executive Larry Ellison called Java "the single most important software asset we have ever acquired."
This is the critical issue in the Justice department mind. Hardware no worries, Databases no worries. JAVA not so fast.
SUN has done a great job enabling the third parties to adopt the JAVA and as they have said continually, IBM is the largest JAVA developer.
Given the ecosystem of JAVA, I am not sure there is much to worry about. I can imagine some optimization for Oracle and as long as the Java Community Process continues. Having said that, it would be nice if JAVA became more stabilized as a standards effort. This is the one place I would focus as the Justice Department.
After that I am hoping that Larry gets his Internet Toaster. Back when I was in the carrier, I kicked the Oracle folks out since they had an expectation that I was going to provide local loop Ethernet.
Today the vision can be accomplished and Larry should bring it back and with an Open API. You would be surprised what things are available when the database can be networked. New federation opportunities exist and SUN asset will prove its value..
