Drool, Britannia? Is the UK Failing the Cloud?

By Roger Strukhoff

Richard Davies wrote: The UK has a good crop of technology pioneers in cloud computing - for example ElasticHosts, FlexiScale, Flexiant, OnApp - and also some strong government initiatives such as G-Cloud. We will have to see whether this kind of technical leadership converts into swift mass-market adoption or not.

Latest Beta of "Tiger" (J2SE 1.5) Released

By: Java News Desk

Jun. 1, 2004 12:00 AM

Those who like to be a part of the beta version of each new version of J2SE can now download the Beta 2 of "Tiger" - a.k.a. J2SE 1.5.

The download is here.

JDJ Advisory Board member Calvin Austin, whose day job at Sun includes being Specification Lead for JSR-176, which defines the J2SE 1.5, wrote, last month:

"Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) version 1.5 ("Tiger") is the next major revision to the Java platform and language; it is currently slated to contain 15 component JSRs with nearly 100 other significant updates developed through the Java Community Process (JCP).

With so many exciting changes in this release, you may be wondering where you should start. As in previous releases, the comprehensive list of all changes is available in the Release notes guide."

Austin continued:

"The J2SE 1.5 release is focused along certain key themes:

Ease of Development
Scalability and Performance
Monitoring and Manageability
Desktop Client

There are a small number of features that are just as important but didn't neatly fit in with the themes; they are listed at the end:

Miscellaneous Features"
