- JamesWilson, on 10/12/2007, -5/+13Do, or do not. There is no 'try.'
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5No way man, compared to .net it does need to be decrapified, it also needs some serious backing now so it can catch up to alot of the functionality and ease .net now has.
And WOOHOO!! I'm glad they're open sourcing it - SimonGray, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Come on, don't dig down. He's funny and right at the same time.
- weasel75, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Guess its not .NET per se, but rather C#
For now they have seperate markets (Java for the UNIX-servers, .NET for Windows) - but since C# is not restricted to Windows anymore...
But man, without Java the world would look different. Maybe without Java there wouldn't be any ISO-C# at all ..... Thanks SUN! - count, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3You see ... C# is pretty strong in the Windows/Desktop space. C# is growing in the Server space. C#/Mono is growing in the Desktop (particularly Linux) space. C#/Mono is not very strong in the Server space. Java is horrible in the Desktop space. Java is very strong in the Server space.
The only place .NET/C# is encroaching on Java is in the Windows/Server space -- definitely not in the Linux/Server space (which is where Java is the strongest). - SimonGray, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Make a metapackage and share it then ;-)
- savio13, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1You could also try WAS Community Edition, it has the JDK, tomcat, geronimo, derby database and eclipse, all ready to go, simple install.
Here's a link: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/kickstart/webserver.html?S_TACT=105AGX59&S_CMP=GR1sav&ca=dgr-GR1sav - centinall, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well, it could be a bunch of other things too.
Glassfish, because there are serveral open-source options for the web/application container: tomcat, jetty, geronimo, jboss, etc...
Solaris, because of perhaps linux and bsd.
Java, because of harmony, gcj, ... - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0If they do at least integrated package for linux that would be a good start, setting up a Fedora Core4-5-6 with java environment and all tools like eclipse, tomcat, jboss, frameworks... for the developers can be pain, who did it just know :/
- bongmunoz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I set up JDK 1.5x, Eclipse 3.2, JBoss 4.0.3, Ant 1.6.5, and DB2 V8.1 Express Client very easily on Slackware 10.1. How painful can untarring an archive be? JBoss 4.0.3 even includes an installer that just works.
- DaffyDuck, on 10/12/2007, -6/+6I hope this means that at some point Java will be de-crapified.
(I know this is going to offend some programmer types) - Bozybear, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0I know I may sound stupid, (maybe because I don't really know anything about this), but could someone explain why open sourcing is good and or bad?
- pascalw, on 10/12/2007, -8/+0dis gsicht
- chris9902, on 10/12/2007, -11/+2there only doing this because .NET it killing them.
