BEA, IBM team on new Java specs

“BEA and IBM, which have collaborated on standards work in the past, published their newest specifications last week under royalty-free terms and submitted them to the Java Community Process (JCP) that Sun Microsystems Inc. established to evolve the Java technology that it created. A vote on whether the specifications will be accepted into the JCP is scheduled for this week, according to Ed Cobb, vice president of architecture and standards at San Jose-based BEA.

Scott Dietzen, chief technology officer at BEA, said it can take one or two years for a Java specification to become a standard. But by publishing the specifications and implementing the technology in BEA’s WebLogic and IBM’s WebSphere, the community can get more immediate feedback from the marketplace.” From Computer World. This continues the evolution of Java as an alternative to .Net and similar technologies.
