John O'Connor has published five Geeky predictions for 2010, and his provocative forecasts are eliciting quite a response! It's not all good news (if the predictions come true). I'll also venture to say that, in my opinion, in many of the forecasts John is intentionally going out on a limb: predicting something that certainly could happen, but which many people probably consider unlikely.
I think John's post is the proper venue for continuing the discussion of his forecasts, so I'm not going to go into detail here about his specific predictions. But, to whet your appetite, I'll list the companies and technologies that are involved:
Oracle
Google
LinkedIn
Sun Microsystems
Adobe
Eclipse
NetBeans
Chrome OS
Android OS
Sun hardware
JavaFX
I intend to post a comment or two after I think a bit more about John's Geeky predictions for 2010. Have a look!
In addition, John invites us to add our own predictions to the post. Then, a year from now (if we're all still around), we'll check back and rate everyone's 2010 crystal ball gazing skill.
It was a great, interesting year - but my personal "business" predictions went totally wrong. I actually expected a bigger impact of the economy downturn to the amount of work (contracts) and actually planned a "vacation-year". The plan was to learn as much as possible new stuff, speak at few conferences, write some books and articles in parallel. What happened was the exact opposite of a "vacation": I got more contract requests, than I could actually handle. I underestimated the Java EE 5 interests of my customers...
The first post on The Aquarium for 2010! What better way to start the new year than with a new release? Six months after the release of v2.1, GlassFish ESB v2.2 is now released and is available for download. Three more components made it to released status, and are included in the installation. These components are...
In this article, I will demonstrate how to integrate your Hudson builds with JFrog's Artifactory repository manager. We will use Artifactory plugin to deploy the Hudson build artifacts and track them back to their original build. Overview: Keeping the history and reproducibility of code is a must-have for any modern project. Using one of the different flavors of version control applications, you can easily reproduce the state of any point in the past using the different methods of SCM tagging...
Everyone has something to say about the past. Few can see the future. Here are my predictions for 2010! * Oracle will prefer Eclipse and will let NetBeans go. I don't like it anymore than you, but why would they support two (three with JDeveloper?) competing IDEs? Oracle's existing staff knows and loves Eclipse, their tooling is built around Eclipse, their plugins are built for Eclipse. Why change something if you don't need to? My only question is who will pick up the support for NetBeans, which is otherwise a great product and is definitely worth saving...just not worth it for Oracle. * Chrome OS and Android OS will converge...
SIP Servlets provide a server side Java abstraction to SIP protocol and it is based on familiar servlet model. This enables an application developer to use Java servlet programming to write Converged applications. What exactly is the meaning of "converged applications"? SIP Servlet Specification explains this as follows: "While the SIP Servlet API can certainly be implemented independently of the HTTP Servlet API, it is expected that many interesting services will combine multiple modes of communication, for example, telephony, Web, email, instant messaging and other server side components like Web services and other Java EE interfaces." SIP Servlet specification defines SIP Application Session, which is a session that holds child protocol sessions (Http Session and Sip Sessions)...
There are several Maven repository managers on the market, but the two most prominent and most powerful are without doubt Nexus and Artifactory. Both these products are open source, with commercial versions containing more advanced features. Both are fine products, with many similar features. In many cases, however, Nexus and Artifactory respond to similar user needs, but in quite different ways. In this article, I will try to give a general picture of a few of the main distinguishing features of these two tools, from the point of view of how you might want to setup your enterprise repository in a real organization...
In the Forums, alesque has questions regarding EJB 3.1, @Asynchronous and thread pool: "Hi. Since EJB 3.1, there is a new annotation @Asynchronous. Unfortunately there is no parameter to define the max pool size of threads. By default there are only 3 threads handling @Asynchronous method (Ejb-Async-Thread-1, Ejb-Async-Thread-2, Ejb-Async-Thread-3)..."

cyberpunkpor asks about SpnegoContextToken support: "We have a WCF service that has WsHttpBinding (client will not change this) with Negotiateservicecredential=true (client also will not change this). We need to use Java to consume this WebService. We tried a simple POC with Metro (WSIT) and we didn't succeeded..."
