Java EE 5 Downloads Available from Sun
Sun Developer Network says:
That is a pretty cool slogan to describe Java EE 5 SDK, which is at last available.
What is not so cool is that there is no version for the Macintosh available for download yet.
This is becoming somewhat of a disappointing pattern. The days graciously waiting six months or more to be able to run a newly introduced version of the Java SDK (also known as JKD) are gone now. It is getting too hard to tolerate.
Macs have all the technological underpinnings an enterprise Java needs. It would be nice if it was not treated like an EE second class citizen.
I am sure that JBoss and other open source, freeware EJB server vendors will quickly fill this gap. However, for once it would be nice if the reference implementation from Sun would - right off the bat.
Looks like most of the new packages and classes support:
In addition, the new persistence API has made its debut.
Looks more like JDO than the old EJB standard did. I like the fact it uses generics in certain method signatures.
In other words, this release is positioned to really nail down web user interfaces and services - and introduce smarter object persistence - for Java enterprise applications. Not a bad haul for a new version of the venerable enterprise Java suite.
In the meantime, anyone can look over the Java EE 5 SDK Docs and Resources.
Do more with less work..
