JavaOne: Tuesday’s Keynote

This morning’s Keynote at JavaOne contained a few interesting announcements, including

• JDK7 for MacOS X Developer Preview announced by Hasan Rizvi (SVP @ Oracle). Available here.
• Java FX to be open sourced, and it will be proposed to the JCP (Confirmed, see press release)
• JDK8 will be released in the summer of 2013 (not 2012 as previously discussed), as announced by Adam Messinger from Oracle

There was also mention of an Oracle Java Magazine, which I confess I had never heard of before.

For a summary of this morning’s announcements, see here.

Overall, not the most exciting keynote I have seen. It opened with a presentation from Juniper Networks. I didn’t find the topic of “Programming the network” to bring networks and apps closer together particular relevant for me personally. They then rolled out a bunch of other corporate folks from the likes of Intel, Redhat, IBM and ARM. The Twitter guy did announce that Twitter are joining OpenJDK as well as the JCP though.

On to the sessions…
