Zusammenfassung:SANTA CLARA, CALIF. - Sun Microsystems, Inc. (Nasdaq: SUNW), the creator and leading advocate of Java technology, today announced it will be incorporating Java DB, the Sun supported distribution of the open source Apache Derby Project, as well as the Group Layout component from the NetBeans GUI Builder code-named Project Matisse (https://swing-layout.dev.java.net/) into the latest version of the Java Platform Standard Edition 6 (Java SE 6) Java Development Kit (JDK). In addition, Sun announced new agreements with Founder Technology Group and Lenovo to ship the JavaRuntime Environment (JRE) on their hardware. The second Beta release of Java SE 6 technology is now available at: http://java.sun.com/javase/6. Developers are encouraged to begin their transition to Java SE 6 platform and leverage the enhancements and expanded functionality of the latest release. Scheduled for final release in the Fall of 2006, the Java SE 6 platform is the result of an industry-wide development effort that involves open review, weekly builds and extensive collaboration between Sun engineers and over 330 external developers. In addition, Sun announced the expansion of service programs for Java SE 6 developers ranging from programming-specific advice to enterprise support with its Sun Developer Expert Assistance (DEA) Program and Sun Developer Service Plans (DSP). A top priority for the Java SE 6 software is to protect developers' current and future investments by helping to ensure compatibility. Earlier this year, Sun sponsored the "Regressions Challenge"contest and invited developers to test their applications on the Java SE 6 platform. The contest resulted in more than 130 submissions and 72 bugs were filed - more than half of which already have fixes (http://download.java.net/jdk/Mustang-Regressions.html). In addition, almost 160 companies are working with Sun to help enable compatibility by actively testing their Java technology- based applications on the Java SE 6 platform.
