This week's java.net Spotlight is the Java Developer Center on the Oracle Technology Network (OTN). Java has long been a core technology for Oracle. But with the 2008 acquisition of BEA and this year's acquisition of Sun, Oracle becomes the most significant vendor of Java-centric products globally.
Here's the updated introduction on the OTN Java Developer Center:
Java is one of the computer industry's best known brands and most widely deployed technologies. Oracle Fusion Middleware is built on Java technology in support of applications and services written in the Java language. With the acquisition of Sun, Oracle will drive continued innovation and investment in Java technology for the benefit of customers and the Java community.
The OTN Java Developer Center includes a What's New feed; links to information on Java focus areas (for example, JavaSE, JDBC / Java in the Database, JavaFX, and Eclipse); technical articles and how-tos; Oracle's Java Bloggers; and forum discussions.
I've visited the OTN intermittently in the past, scanning for interesting Java articles, etc., that I might point people to in our java.net Java Today section. The enhanced Java Developer Center is a much richer resource for Java developers than what Oracle offered as recently as six months age. The "Oracle's Java Bloggers" list is particularly interesting to me. There I see many bloggers whose blogs I already subscribe to; but a few quick clicks on bloggers I wasn't familiar with brought me to some very interesting blogs. I'll be subscribing to these, and will spread the news in Java Today and my own blogs when I see very interesting new posts.
If you haven't looked for Java information on the Oracle Technology Network recently, you may find it worth your time to pay a visit to the OTN's Java Developer Center. It's a resource I'll certainly be utilizing going forward.
In Java Today, James Gosling poses the question Next??, and discusses a few of the possibilities he's considering:
The couple of weeks that have passed since I resigned have been amazing. All the touching comments on my blog, emails, facebook and linkedin messages have been wonderful. It was an incredible community of people that together did great things and had a lot of fun. I've spent an awful lot of time reading these messages and answering as many as I could...
Geertjan Wielenga writes about training/workship he and Toni Epple recently gave in Norwegian Wood:

Michael Huttermann talks about his upcoming book Fragile Agile:
My German book "Fragile Agile" has a face now, i.e. a cover. The book is published by Hanser. This has the effect that we may win the nobel prize with this book 2011, as Hanser did this year with another book. In contrast to this other book, our book here is more for a mass market....
blueBill Mobile has been initially developed for JavaFX and has been blogged about a bit in the past. I already anticipated that a version in JME was in the pipeline; in the meantime, since unfortunately there hasn't been any announce from Oracle about JavaFX for Android phones, I started the development of a specific Android version. It is important also for start involving some users, as I've been unlucky in finding a good number of them able to test JavaFX Mobile applications...

There's been a ton of talk lately about several mobile operating systems and their problems, such as language restrictions, fragmentation, and anti-competitive practices. It's never a good idea to talk bad about your competition, so I'll take this opportunity to simply say a few things about the webOS (the OS that powers Palm's Pre and Pixi phones) that you might not know...
