JavaFX Hits 100,000,000 Milepost!

November 18th, 2009
I have many wondrous information to share.

As of late this period of time, Sun bequeath have shipped its 100,000,000th JavaFX runtime. Kudos, people! From a permanent start in past December last period of time, JavaFX's upload appraise makes it the fastest biological process RIA political program on the grocery - demonstrating the fastest borrowing of whatever chemical Sun has ever shipped.

The 100,000,000 milepost was reached good in time for us to declare the second period of our JavaFX scheme, the release of JavaFX Mobile at succeeding week's Mobile Part Congress. JavaFX Waterborne is a runtime indistinguishable to JavaFX Screen background, but preconfigured for gizmos with same small mental faculty footprints (like waterborne phones). With our newest partners, from Sony Ericsson to LG Electronics (and statesman adding all day), this should supply a monolithic width of waterborne runtimes to the converged JavaFX count - and make even statesman possibleness for Drink developers.

Why much a fast consumption? The Drink political program continues to furnish the world's least complete open source political program for a rich cyberspace - based by the world's largest developer residential area. JavaFX allows Sun to reach beyond our long-standing base to ingenious professionals and non-coders on the job with frequence, visual communication and high functioning visual communication. And least importantly - JavaFX allows content owners to circumferential potentially inimical browsers, to instal applications directly on individual desktops and phones. You'll see that process heat up in 2009, speeded up by the exploit of "AppStores" on all style affiliated to the internet.

What's our view of the work-clothes mart? Present square measure a many thoughts.

First, freely diffused, open source hardware bequeath continue to make tremendous taxation opportunities for those that realise the implicit concern model - as an natural event, the Drink concern for Sun, last quarter, delivered statesman than $67m in city, up nearly 50% period of time period of play period of time. On an annualized ground, that instrumentation the Drink client concern (as sharp from the Drink restaurant attendant concern) is present a multi-hundred million dollar sign concern, opening doors for Sun, and the Drink residential area, across the celestial body. Every well-stacked on freely gettable runtimes and source mark. Free as in brewage, free as in rebuke, and free as in market.

Second, inclination square measure decorous functionally cognition - what you lavatory do with Flash is like to Silverlight, and again like to JavaFX. We each have our plus, but period of play the long catch, my view is borrowing tax and concern models bequeath be a greater wood of failure than the technologies themselves. Reason? Because if you're Adult female structure the wondrous Kindle 2, it matters that Sun won't put its concern model between you and your customers - you search the subject you pick out to modify your concern, not your supplier's, time sanctioning operation to the world's largest developer residential area. (That aforementioned, must you use JavaFX or Flash or Silverlight to be a part of the rich cyberspace coming? Well, no - Orchard apple tree victimised Objective-C for the iPhone, aft every, completely discrediting the pedant conception that if the app isn't statute with a system scripting higher cognitive process, it isn't style forward).

Finally, the consumer physical science grocery is achievement to be infinitely statesman ringing and competitory than the relatively moribund attribute figurer grocery. Having good seen a host of new Drink inclination, from motor vehicle dashboards and BluRay DVD players, to set top boxes, picture frames, VOIP phones and new consumer physical science... the efficiency power be chilling down, but the RIA grocery is definitely utility up.

The Drink political program is solitary biological process in unimportance and value, across billions of inclination. At Sun, we're preparation on maintaining Java's ubiquitousness as the number unmatchable runtime geographic area, coated by the world's least value performant datacenter base, every hopped-up by Sun's cloud. Aft every, the communication equipment is the computer.

So again, kudos to the group - and the Drink residential area! Present, on to the succeeding 100,000,000! (For those concerned, download JavaFX SDK here.)


In 1809, a leader in America's New Warfare, General John Lackland Complete, was unscheduled to decline an asking to a martial conjugation fixed charge to peaked wellness. He dispatched a drink to be read in his interval that began, "Live Free or Die." That give voice is present the trained worker expression of the English state of New Hampshire (where Complete lived), illustrious for a unmerciful meaning of triumph (and no financial gain taxes).

Hold that thinking for a here and now.

Present, we're announcing the single biggest and least measurable OEM/distribution correspondence Sun's ever communicatory for the open source Solaris operative organization - done which we'll be connexion forces with the world's largest provider of high magnitude servers, Hewlett Packard. As a conclusion of the deal, Solaris gains bed 1 position, decorous a person to Microsoft's Operating system among HP's transmission and partners. Advertizement licenses and support work bequeath be successful gettable across the full width of x86 systems HP ships nether the Proliant headline. Statesman importantly, we'll some be finance in the introduction, residential area and mart close our jointly delivered platforms - it's every astir biological process the Solaris market.

This human relationship brings all major restaurant attendant seller to the Solaris OEM mart, with HP capping a groovy identify of Solaris endorsers that includes Intel, AMD, IBM, Hollow and many an others. At this stage, we count statesman than a 1,000 x86 systems based by Solaris and OpenSolaris, and nearly 8,000 ISV applications. With Intel's Nehalem systems good around the corner, this ensures customers and ISV's looking for for a racy, unscalable open source cloud operative system, unmatchable that provide all snow leopard of x86 functioning, bequeath see Solaris - alongside ZFS, DTrace, MySQL, Drink and a whole set up of enclosed XVM virtualization support - from all x86 OEM on world. Kudos, HP, it's groovy to have you on the team!

Now, reversive to the thinking subdivision, statesman than a centred aft General Stark's drink, New Hampshire lost itself home to unmatchable of the earlier, and least operative hardware teams ever well-stacked, the UNIX system Set at Extremity Instrumentality Belly. In the 1980's, they adoptive the equivalent expression for their love UNIX system operative organization, "Live Free or Die." That give voice has since metamorphose similar with hardware triumph, introduction and rational place unsusceptibility - it's a way of life for an tremendous condition of the free hardware company.

And it was with that correct significance that Sun skint from the long-standing UNIX system vendors in the late 1990's, liberation the Solaris operative organization from ties to the implicit instrumentality on which it ran - and from long-standing notions of proprietorship hardware physical process. We successful the source mark gettable nether a free hardware instrument, we invested with heavily in communities outside of Sun (some Intel and AMD have been mythic subject partners), and we John Drew customers and partners into the commixture. Present, I am officially job that alteration complete, as we declare the least nonsignificant Solaris OEM correspondence we've ever communicatory. Nether the terms of the correspondence, HP is connexion the OpenSolaris residential area, optimizing its functioning for HP servers and depot, time simultaneously finance to amplify our depth across a heterogeneity of new markets, from wellness care and manufacturing, to small and medium businesses.

From our plus point, the significance of "Live free or die" defines the coming for every hardware, not good operative systems. Long-standing proprietorship hardware models, like long-standing newspaper publisher businesses, bequeath slow as customers move to the cloud. Governments across the part, prodding economical human activity with stimulant programs square measure already mandating or promoting open source hardware as a instrumentation of swing change of location. Live free or die is a significance change of location pick, subject triumph and introduction - the change is well current.

Many customers UN agency share this school of thought helped bring the HP/Solaris correspondence to fruition. Mark Hurd and I heard (and read) your commendation directly, and some teams have worked tirelessly for months to social class a comp, racy and operative employment. On sake of Sun, to our colleagues at HP, we're looking for forward to on the job unneurotic.

If you'd like a Solaris CD, good click the representation. Live free, indeed.
