Treffer: Sun advances in Java 5.0 but users want more .netinteroperability.

At its annual user conference last week, Sun Microsystems Inc. attempted to woo developers and business customers with new tools and a new point release of the Java programming language. It has facilities for developers to tune Java code performance, support for Java Management Extensions, a profiling API and enhanced security. Omer Rana, senior lecturer at the University of Wales' department of computer science, welcomed many of the new features in Java Standard Edition 5.0, but said Sun needed to strengthen security features. There are overlaps between Microsoft's common language runtime and J2EE, but Microsoft is trying to go its own route with. Also at the conference, Sun released its Java Studio Creator tool, previously known as Project Rave, as an alternative to Microsoft Corp.'s Visual Studio. Java Studio Creator simplifies J2EE development so that less advanced developers can create Java applications. Sun said it hopes this will increase the number of Java developers from two million to more than 10 million.
