Its the shadows and reflections cast from the future that interest me.

JavaOne 2007 : Java Kernel, Ericcson & GlassFish, Solaris on a Toshiba Laptop

> Ericcson and GlassFish. At JavaOne, one very interesting announcement was that Swedish Telecom giant Ericcson was going to contribute code to GlassFish.  They will be contributing the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Servlet 1.0 to Glassfish. SIP is a way to set up communication sessions. It is used by IMS  (IP Multimedia  Subsystem) protocol.   Note >
Subsystem) protocol.   Note that an early version of Glassfish v3 was shown at JavaOne.  Ericsson will also take module ownership for the JSR 289 compatible SIP servlet container under Project SailFin a subproject of the GlassFish open source project.   There is a nice article, GlassFish Application Server : Present and Future, describes many of the new features added to the app server.  There is a nice GlassFish wiki.

> Java Kernel Project. Modularization is coming to Java SE and with it a minimized Java SE Consumer JRE distribution with on-demand loading of as-needed modules.   Danny Coward,  Java SE Platform lead has been discussing Java modularization,  radically improved the install experience and Java Kernel Project.  Some notes on the Java SE : Present and Future session can be found courtesy of Chris Maki blog.  Discussions on this project on Java SE snapshots java.net forum.  You can check out Danny Coward's blog which also has a nice video where he covers one of the segments.  Note another session, Easy Deployment is Here,  which covered improvements in the JRE installation experience, patch-in-place, reduced update size, faster installations and updates.

> Latest Solaris On My Laptop.  Prior to JavaOne, I loaded a Solaris Developer Express, Nevada build 63 of Solaris (you can get it at OpenSolaris.org Nevada downloads ) on my Toshiba Tecra M2 laptop. Wow. I have to say - I'm really impressed.  I am still playing around with the new version - but everything is working for me.  One big win - wireless just works quite well for me.  I am working with multiple monitors and they are working very nicely - although I am still trying to figure out how it mirrors.  I have been using my Samsung HDTV as an extra monitor, there is a nice Nvidia Settings tool - to see select thumbnail image >.  So I'm now using my Solaris laptop most of the time  as it is considerably faster running StarOffice, NetBeans and Java apps than my older Powerbook and it can run a production Java SE 6 (as opposed to MacOS which still has a early access 6.0). You can see an image of JavaFX running on Solaris  - select thumbnail >.  I'm pretty happy with the whole setup.  I am walking through my list of apps I use on my Powerbook and see what the equivalent Solaris apps are.
