Java Release Numbering Gets Re-Numbered
Are you confused by the recent spate of Java SE updates? You ain't seen nothing yet.

Oracle is not introducing new nomenclature that might make it easier or harder, depending on your perspective.

Red Hat launches community contest to rename JBoss
Red Hat says its JBoss Enterprise Application Platform has evolved to embrace far more than just Java, and to reflect this, it has launched a contest to rename the JBoss Application Server (JBossAS) to something more in line with its current vision of multi-language programming. In a blog post on Monday, Red Hat Senior Director of Middleware Engineering Mark Little explained that JBossAS is a very different project than what it was when it launched as an open source Java EE application server.

Top 50 Open Source Companies: Where Are They Now?
Back in 2008 and 2009 I kept a really close eye on the top 50 open source companies and their partnering strategies. Fast forward to 2012 and whatever became of those top 50 open source companies? Some are thriving, some are dead, and some are repositioning for the cloud and barely even mention open source anymore. Here's the update.

Where Are New Tech Jobs? Answer: Red Hat
Despite the challenging U.S. economy, Red Hat sure sounds optimistic. The open source company plans to hire roughly 1,000 people in 2012. And this isn’t a pure Linux strategy. Red Hat also continues to invest in virtualization, storage, middleware and cloud computing. Here's the strategy.
Top 10 Reasons Why Larry Ellison Dislikes Red Hat
We still haven’t heard anything from David Letterman’s lawyers, so we figure he’s cool with us stealing his IP. If he sends us one of those “cease and desist” notices, we’ll just claim that the rights to the Top 10 list were given to us by NBC, who said he abandoned them when he bolted to CBS. Anyway, we’ve discovered that the list is a teeny bit funnier if you read it aloud, pretending you’re Mr. Letterman, right Paul?

The Slur “Open Core”: Toward More Diligent Analysis
Canonical, Ltd.'s new business model of choice — proprietary relicensing (once trailblazed by MySQL AB) — was also barely legitimate. In one literal sense, that's still true: it's legitimate in the sense that it doesn't violate GPL. In the sense of software freedom morality, I think proprietary relicensing harms the Free Software community too much, and that it was therefore a mistake to ever tolerate it.
The Java Mess
Sun’s first mistake with Java was locking up the codebase, letting few see it, and letting even fewer improve it, so that today, there exists only a small community of people, outside of Sun/Oracle, who understand and are improving the core.
Red Hat is not in the same open source boat as Apache when it comes to Oracle's Java licensing.
"Philosophical issues notwithstanding, Red Hat is not in the same situation as Apache," Sharples commented. "Red Hat (and JBoss before it) is a Java licensee and the Java SE implementation we ship is based on OpendJDK and covered by the OpenJDK Community License Agreement"

Red Hat revenues swell to $209.1m
Red Hat is not as precisely coupled to the economy as many other IT players. Throughout the Great Recession, Red Hat got its brim a little wet, but it never blew off Wall Street's head and got trampled in the mud like so many other companies.

Developing Applications with JBoss and Hibernate
In this article we will introduce Hibernate, which is the de facto standard object-relational mapping framework for Java applications. The Hibernate galaxy is quite large and needs a book of its own to be fully explored. Our mission will be to take over one sector of this galaxy, especially where Hibernate applications are managed by JBoss AS. In this two-part article, we will cover the following topics: * A short introduction to Hibernate * Setting up our proof of concept for the Hibernate project * Reverse engineering a database schema into Hibernate POJOs and mapping files * Deploying the application to JBoss AS * Comparing the Hibernate technology with EJB 3 persistence (JPA)

Its embedded engine allows seamless integration with JBoss components, by using the underlying Microkernel system.

Red Hat: Linux Pays Off - And Isn't Bloated
The recession is proving to be an opportune time for Linux vendor Red Hat (NYSE: RHT) as it continues to grow revenues and earnings. According to Red Hat executives, the growth is coming at the expense of rivals and as a result of customer confidence in the abilities of Linux and Red Hat's JBoss middleware platform. The growth of Red Hat's business is not however a sign of bloat. During Red Hat's second quarter earnings investor call on Wednesday, Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst responded to an analyst question about Linux founder Linus Torvalds' comment earlier this week that Linux was bloated.

"I don't think of that as bloat."

Red Hat HornetQ debuts for open source messaging
rom the 'What's All The Buzz About?' files: Red Hat (NYSE:RHT) today officially launched a new open source messaging system called HornetQ.

HornetQ is an example of Message Oriented Middleware (MoM)." That's right, messaging for middleware is now MoM. I expect we'll see that acronym more over the course of what is left of 2009.
