JavaOne Notes: Fireside Chat with James Gosling

Disclaimer: my notes aren't meant to be complete -- they essentially reflect the parts that I'm interested in.

  • There will be no partial Java distributions to minimize size (ie: java w/o swing, etc)
  • JAX-RPC becomes JAX-WS. Heavy use of annotations, analogous to Indigo (MS)
  • DOM is not going away and it will not be deprecated
  • We will not likely see OSX JVM from Sun directly due to JVM porting for an OS (as opposed to an architecture) is more expensive
  • The Hip^h^h^hGosling oath: First do no harm - deprecated methods will never go away (to preserve compatibility), some may be undeprecated
