Expanded investment in the Java programming language is one of the strategies Oracle has planned when it completes the $7.4 billion acquisition of Sun this summer, said Oracle CEO Larry Ellison when he took the stage at the 2009 JavaOne Conference. He mentioned developing programs for netbooks, mobile devices, and office productivity, and pledged a commitment to Java technologies, including the Java rich media extension JavaFX.
“I don’t expect a lot of changes, just expanded investment and a lot of enthusiasm coming from Oracle,” said Ellison, who noted that many of Oracle’s products are already based on Java, reported Mercury News’ Brandon Bailey.
