Looks like Java 5 is going to phase out after it went into EOLS on the 3rd of November 2009.

Here’s the excerpt taken from Sun Java 5.0 Page.

J2SE 5.0 End of Service Life Notice

J2SE 5.0 reached its End of Service Life (EOSL) on November 3, 2009, which is the date of the final publicly available update of version 5.0 (J2SE 5.0 Update 22).

Customers interested in continuing to receive critical fixes, are encouraged to consider the following options:

  • Migrate to Java SE for Business 1.5 Read More
  • Migrate to the latest Java SE release Read More

For developer needs, all products that have completed the EOL transition period, including the last Java SE release of 1.5, have been moved to the Archive area.

No More Java 5

From Java 1.4 to Java 5 was quite a transition. Now since that Java 5 has now gone in EOLS period, what’s in store for the Java developers and researchers out there? It looks like time will tell. JDK 7 is still in beta and currently available for DOWNLOAD. As of date of print, here is the link to download the latest JDK 7 from Sun. Now what will the final JDK 7 be in store for us, time will let us know. So, so long Java 5, you have been around and it’s time for you to go. Looks like those planning to take their SCJP exams now have to catch up on Java 5 concepts and work towards Java 7.

In terms of news, with an astonishing figure of $1,000,000,000 or in literal translation 1 Billion dollars. That’s an astonishing figure. Looks like all the big players in the Internet market are buying over stuffs.

“The combination of MySQL and Sun represents an enormous opportunity for users and organizations of all sizes seeking innovation, growth and choice,” said Marten Mickos, CEO, MySQL.

Sun Microsystems LogoSun’s ever many Software will integrate with MySQL. The breakdown of the $1 billion can seperate in terms of $800 million in exchange of MySQL stock and approximated $200 million in other options. With this news, now not only with the long lasting partnership of Sun Microsystems and Oracle but also with an additional new database to integrate together.

“We are going to keep investing in that and keep doing that,” he said. “It is vital to our customers. It is vital to our business, but we can also use that expertise and share that expertise to optimize MySQL technology to run on Sun systems as well as Linux and Windows systems.” says Rich Green, executive Vice President of Sun Microsystems Software.
