Congratulations, folks! From a standing start in early December last year, JavaFX's download rate makes it the fastest growing RIA platform on the market - demonstrating the fastest adoption of any product Sun has ever shipped. <p> <img src="https://blogs.sun.com/jonathan/feed/entries/ https://www.blackberry.com/assets/images/storm_hero.png" /></a> The 100,000,000 milestone was reached just in time for us to announce the second phase of our JavaFX strategy, the release of <a href="https://www.sun.com/software/javafx/mobile/">JavaFX Mobile</a> at next week's <a href="https://www.mobileworldcongress.com/index.shtml">Mobile World Congress</a>. JavaFX Mobile is a runtime identical to JavaFX Desktop, but preconfigured for gizmos with very small memory footprints (like mobile phones). With our newest partners, from <a href="https://www.sonyericsson.com/cws">Sony Ericsson</a> to <a href="https://www.lge.com/html/gate.html">LG Electronics</a> (and more adding every day), this should add a massive breadth of mobile runtimes to the converged JavaFX count - and create even more opportunity for Java developers. <p> Why such a fast uptake? The Java platform continues to provide the world's most complete open source platform for a rich internet - supported by the world's largest developer community. JavaFX allows Sun to reach beyond our traditional base to creative professionals and non-coders working with audio, video and high performance graphics. And most importantly - JavaFX allows content owners to bypass potentially hostile browsers, to install applications <em>directly on user desktops and phones</em>. You'll see that phenomenon heat up in 2009, accelerated by the emergence of "AppStores" on every device connected to the internet. <p> What's our view of the overall marketplace? Here are a few thoughts. <p> First, freely distributed, open source software will continue to create enormous revenue opportunities for those that understand the underlying business model - as an example, the Java business for Sun, last quarter, delivered more than $67m in billings, up nearly 50% year over year. On an annualized basis, that means the Java <b>client</b> business (as distinct from the Java server business) is now a multi-hundred million dollar business, opening doors for Sun, and the Java community, across the planet. All built on freely available runtimes and source code. Free as in beer, free as in speech, and free as in market. <p> <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00154JDAI/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=2733312175&ref=pd_sl_94gezpav8a_e"><img src="https://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/digital/fiona/general/Kindle_C1_03._V10214354_.gif" /></a> Second, devices are becoming functionally equivalent - what you can do with Flash is comparable to Silverlight, and again comparable to JavaFX. We each have our specialty, but over the long haul, my view is adoption rates and business models will be a greater driver of success than the technologies themselves. Why? Because if you're Amazon building the extraordinary <a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00154JDAI/?tag=googhydr-20&hvadid=2733312175&ref=pd_sl_94gezpav8a_e">Kindle 2</a>, it matters that Sun won't put its business model between you and your customers - you want the technology you select to enable <em>your</em> business, not your supplier's, while enabling access to the world's largest developer community. (That said, <em>must</em> you use JavaFX or Flash or Silverlight to be a part of the rich internet future? Well, no - Apple used Objective-C for the iPhone, after all, completely discrediting the purist notion that if the app isn't written with a web scripting language, it isn't fashion forward). <p> <a href="https://www.java.com"><img src="https://blogs.sun.com/jonathan/resource/java_smi_logo_rgb.jpg" /></a> Finally, the consumer electronics market is going to be infinitely more vibrant and competitive than the relatively stagnant personal computer market. Having just seen a host of new Java devices, from automobile dashboards and <a href="https://www.blu-ray.com/">BluRay DVD</a> players, to set top boxes, picture frames, VOIP phones and new consumer electronics... the economy might be cooling down, but the RIA market is definitely heating up. <p> The Java platform is only growing in importance and value, across billions of devices. At Sun, we're planning on maintaining Java's ubiquity as the number one runtime environment, backed by the world's most price performant datacenter infrastructure, all powered by Sun's cloud. After all, the network is the computer. <p> So again, congratulations to the team - and the Java community! Now, on to the next 100,000,000!

If you'd like to listen to our earnings call, just <a href="https://www.sun.com/aboutsun/investor/earnings_releases/audiocast.html">click here</a> - in addition, here's a quick synopsis of the quarter and our business overall. <p> At a corporate level in Q1, Sun's revenue was down 7% year over year. Growth in our emerging products was more than offset by declines in our traditional, high end products. We were surprised by the magnitude of the decline, which reflected a dramatic slowing in the US and Europe, and the effects the credit crisis is having on our customers - across nearly all geographies and industries, but clearly concentrated among financial services companies. <p> Unlike our peers, Sun is more exposed to high end systems - so declines in this business have an immediate impact, even if our newer, emerging businesses demonstrate fantastic growth (which many did). For example, the Tape market won't sustain 30% year over year growth for any participant - but our ZFS based OpenStorage products are growing at more than 100%. The latter are smaller, emerging businesses, driven by open source and new innovations - and will take time to eclipse more traditional businesses in our P&L.; <p> To drive an even greater level of transparency for investors and analysts, we've added a new management report to our quarterly updates - for the first time, this will give line item detail of our performance, and a sense for how we're making some of the most important decisions at the core of our long term strategy. You can find that break out, <a href="https://www.sun.com/aboutsun/investor/earnings_releases/call_slides.jsp">here</a>. <p> Here are a few of the major questions I'm receiving: <p> <b>What went well within the quarter?</b> <p> The biggest highlights were the performance of our Solaris based, chip multi-threading (CMT) systems, which again grew a whopping 80%, year over year. These systems leverage awareness of Solaris/Opensolaris and our outstanding ISV portfolio, and are driven by extreme energy efficiency and virtualization - attributes we just multiplied with the launch of our newest CMT system: the <a href="https://www.sun.com/servers/coolthreads/t5440/">T5440</a>. <p> Simultaneously, our Open Storage systems also delivered a great quarter, up 150+% year over year. These systems, known by many as Thumpers, are amplified by the awareness of our open source ZFS file system, a technology at the heart of Sun's storage business. You'll be hearing more about Open Storage at a launch event we're holding on November 10th. If you're technical, and you want some hints about what we're about to unveil, <a href="https://blogs.sun.com/storage/entry/flash_performance_in_storage_systems">click here</a>. <p> And finally, most of our software business grew - including MySQL, Java, <del>alongside Solaris, management and our virtualization products</del>. As we've been saying, open source is a great distribution model - and it feeds a great revenue model. <p> <b>What about lowlights?</b> <p> Clearly the traditional businesses slowed significantly - with enterprise systems (our largest, mainframe class systems) declining year over year. This time last year, those same systems grew nearly 20% - so the downturn is having an impact. It's crucial to understand these systems are far less sensitive to open source innovations or Solaris adoption - they're sold to customers who are scaling up existing Solaris applications, who rely on quality, fault tolerance and our capacity to deliver mainframe scale. We and Fujitsu just expanded this product line - and no matter the downturn, we remain exceptionally focused and committed to traditional enterprise computing. The expansion of scale out computing doesn't negate scale up computing - if anything, it leads to even greater demand, over time. IBM was right, mainframes will always be sexy (especially when they run Solaris :). <p> On the storage front, tape declined slightly, although our high end storage systems grew, yielding growth overall in storage - growth we're driving to accelerate with the introduction of our upcoming Open Storage innovations. <p> <b>Why were gross margins lower this quarter?</b> <p> A few reasons that Mike Lehman, our CFO, elaborated on during the call - the lull in very high end systems, along with discounting and component pricing depressed gross margins. In addition, we went through a series of product transition related expenses this quarter we do not expect to recur, that depressed margins by around 2 percentage points. <p> <b>Now, how is Software growing if you give everything away?</b> <p> We make our software freely available to enable its distribution to the farthest reaches of the market - which we then monetize with commercial subscriptions and services, alongside optimized hardware systems (like Open Storage, above). We continue to reach customers that have already settled on our software - the process of selling to them is simplified by the fact they're already using our core products. And unlike most university students (who typically have more time than money), our paying customers view downtime or administrative complexity as more expensive than a software subscription (that is, they have more money than time). <p> Thus, customers will pay, and continue to pay for access to enterprise grade features, along with mission critical support and maintenance - the Software business is both a license, subscription and services business. <p> To understand the total size and value of Software at Sun, you need to look at billings alongside our multi billion dollar support streams - remembering that a lot of our software is sold as a subscription service (remember, it's open source). In addition, you have to recognize that how much a "Systems Service" support contract is attributable to software is entirely subjective (we don't price them separately to customers). It's like asking how much revenue a mobile phone manufacturer should attribute to their operating system - you're not charged separately at the point of sale. <p> <b>Wait, you make money off Java?</b> <p> Yes, it's among the most profitable technology products at Sun - and improving. Java's one of the most popularly distributed pieces of Software on the internet, we distribute over a million Java runtimes a day to users across every OS and geography on PC's. That helps us reach a very broad community of users and, more importantly, developers. We have some exciting news coming up around these distribution volumes - and their value to us, and others. <p> <b>What is Sun focusing on?</b> <p> Strategically, we continue to focus on two core areas - creating the world's largest, and fastest growing developer communities - for whom we build the products, services and technologies on which they'll build their products and services. With brands like MySQL, Java and OpenSolaris - we measure and drive their adoption very aggressively. <p> And secondly, we deliver compelling commercial offers to those deploying applications - across a diversity of industries - through commercial subscription, services and optimized system products. That is, we sell datacenter systems, software and services. <p> We're focused on today's customers with our current products and services, and tomorrow's customers with our investments in freely distributed software. <p> Operationally, we're focused on execution - in the field, in the labs, and on behalf of our shareholders. Innovation loves a crisis, even when the stock markets don't - and Sun's positioned very well to supply the platforms on which the next generation of clouds will be built. <p> <b>What are you hearing from customers?</b> <p> It really depends upon industry and geography. From Wall St. I've heard, "I can't take your call until I crawl out from under my desk," (only a slight exaggeration) - at the other extreme, an executive at a professional social networking company said, "we're being crushed with new accounts." <p> But there are three basic themes I'm hearing. <p> The first is a profound concern surrounding the global economy. If the headlines are bad, you hold off consumer spending - if you hold off on consumer spending, the headlines are likely to worsen. It's tough to break that cycle. <p> The second is a reaffirmation of the importance of technology - for discovering drugs, running businesses, modeling supply chains and automating business processes, technology's not getting less important, it's getting more important. Even if budgets are tight in the near term. <p> The third is the need for change - one executive to whom I spoke recently said her entire discretionary budget was consumed by one proprietary vendor's price increase. So she's out looking for an alternative, and MySQL fits the bill. Which is to say, necessity's the mother of invention - and there's a lot of necessity going around right now. <p> _____________________ <p>All in all, it was a tough quarter for Sun and our customers - but we're emboldened by the progress we made in our emerging markets and technology areas, investments we plan on amplifying and accelerating. Investments whose adoption will be hastened by customers facing new choices. <p> Stay tuned for our newest storage announcements on November 10th... just as the popping of the internet bubble let loose a flood of innovation for the server world, the global credit crisis is about to shake up the storage industry, too. <p> ______________________ <p> <em>Safe Harbor Statement</em> <p> <font size="1">Jonathan's blog contains forward-looking statements regarding the future results and performance of Sun including statements with respect to our commitment to enterprise computing, the demand for scale up computing, the continued business of our paying customers, upcoming news regarding Java distribution volumes and value, expectations for the OpenOffice community, our strategy and related progress, our positioning with respect to the next generation of clouds and our expectations with respect to investments in emerging markets and technology areas.

FOSDEM takes place every year at the ULB in Brussels, Belgium, approximately two months after the Devoxx conference in Antwerp. It's packed, it's intense, and it's a great way to meet new people across open source project and language boundaries.</p> This year's schedule for the development room has been split into a few blocks of related talks. We've tried the '30 minutes or less per talk' approach last year, and it worked pretty well, allowing a lot of developers to present the work they are passionate about. And of course, to enable matching real life faces to IRC handles and e-mail addresses, which makes it so much easier to continue interesting follow up conversations into the night. So the Java libre dev room organizers chose the same rapid-fire-of-interesting-subjects approach this year ... <a href="https://robilad.livejournal.com/43500.html">robilad</a> https://robilad.livejournal.com/ Dalibor Topic 2009-02-01 Feb 01, 2009 Dalibor Topic LiveJournal bucket/bu/104/13f430f1 37 https://weblogs.java.net/blog/tbrandalik/archive/2009/02/java_me_sdk_has.html Java ME SDK has an important feature which can speed up MIDlet development.

This is what happened to me now with S60 debugging, I have some issues that only occur on my battered device and they are impossible to reproduce on an emulator.<br />Sure I can use the Log but what I get is an exception from an unclear source, I always invoke printStackTrace so I know the trace is there... With SE devices I would just plugin a cable and see the stack but with the Nokia I have been at this bug for days. In desperation I searched the internet for ways to get at the system output for S60 with no result... I found a tool from SE called Redirect.SYS but its only for their flavor of Symbian.<br />Then I ran into <a href="https://www.mobile-j.de/snipsnap/space/J2ME/System.out+redirect+on+S60+3rd+Edition">this</a> which I immediately discarded since its a Java JAR so naturally it won't have access to the System output... Should have paid more attention! Turns out Nokia has an <a href="https://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/How_to_get_System.out_output_from_a_MIDlet_and_save_it_to_a_file_in_S60_devices">undocumented API</a> (it is now documented obviously) to access the stream of the output/error stream from Java! It works on my E61 which is making my debugging experience that much better.<br /><br />I'm blogging about this because if I didn't know about it, I bet most of you guys don't either and the results for System.out printStackTrace and S60 Symbian Nokia are somewhat problematic (hopefully this will help).

In less than 3 weeks this new media player was downloaded 200,000 times and the numbers are rising with the 1.1 version released this weekend. You can read allot about <a href="https://www.majimob.com/majimo/applications/player.html">MajiPlayer</a> in the <a href="https://www.majimob.com/majimo/applications/player.html">site</a> (which I urge you to do) but what might not be as immediately obvious is just how much LWUIT contributed to this unique player... The whole application was written in under 2 months (including version 1.1 which includes major new features), it works on a ridiculously large number of devices as is evident from the getjar <a href="https://www.getjar.com/products/18089/MajiPlayer">statistics for downloads</a>. The main reason for failures in getjar when such occur, is the need for a signing certificate and even that isn't too bad.<br />The stunning part is that the application utilizes MMAPI, File connector & restricted API's (digital certificate). All of these are especifically notorious in the porting community as porting "problems", yet <a href="https://www.majimob.com/majimo/applications/player.html">MajiPlayer</a> is still able to realize LWUITs vision of one jar for all devices. Resources for themes are <a href="https://www.majimob.com/MajiServer/themes.jsp">downloadable</a> on the fly with a rather cool AJAX based <a href="https://www.majimob.com/MajiServer/themes.jsp">theme uploading tool</a> (I understand downloading user generated themes is "in the pipe"), the selection of themes is also impressive for a small application.<br /><br />This sort of approach allows <a href="https://www.majimob.com/">majimob</a> to utilize the economies of scale thus reducing prices and deriving profits from ads, the advertising integration in the unregistered version of <a href="https://www.majimob.com/majimo/applications/player.html">MajiPlayer</a> is unique for mobile phones and utilizes LWUIT extensively.<br /><br />LWUITs features are used to the max throughout the application in very obvious ways, transitions, progress, dialogs, themes, fonts etc. are all extensively leveraged.<br /><br />See more videos of <a href="https://www.majimob.com/majimo/applications/player.html">MajiPlayer</a> in action <a href="https://www.majimob.com/majimo/videos.html">here</a>.

It can include all kinds of value-creation, depending on the product in question. Here are some examples of delivering value for people who have already deployed and are heading towards scale:</p><ul><li>For Solaris and OpenSolaris, Sun offers <a href="https://www.sun.com/software/solaris/index.jsp">subscriptions</a> that include the updates, support and warrantly that allows deployers to get the maximum up-time and performance for the minimum cost. You can get the same results yourself by hiring experts to do the work for you, but the Sun subscriptions save money and time.<br /></li><li>For MySQL,there is <a href="https://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/support.html">the same sort of deal</a> with the addition of software features needed only by those between deploy and scale, such as <a href="https://www.mysql.com/products/enterprise/monitor.html">MySQL Enterprise Monitor</a>.<br /></li><li>For Glassfish, again, there is <a href="https://www.sun.com/software/products/appsrvr/unlimited.jsp">a subscription offering</a> that's perfect for those who have taken the decision to deploy and now want the greatest value with the least fuss.<br /></li><li>... and so on, across the portfolio.</li></ul>Devlievering value can take many forms, and nothing is absolutely forbidden unless is creates a barrier between download and deployment in any way.<h3>...and hardware too</h3><p>But it would be a mistake to believe Sun's open source strategy is only about software. As has been frequently explained, Sun is a <i>systems</i> company, and the news last week and today underlines that fact by showing two new ways Sun is offering value for those between deploy and scale:</p><ul><li><h4>Systems for MySQL</h4><p>Recently, the first database <a href="https://www.sun.com/systems/solutions/mysql/">servers optimised for MySQL</a> were made available. For MySQL users who have moved beyond initial deployment and are now looking for high performance servers with rock solid support at great price points, these are excellent. They are optional, but I'd wager most people will save money and create more value by graduating to them for some applications.<br /></p></li><li><h4>Unified Storage</h4><p>Today's <a href="https://www.sun.com/launch/2008-1110/index.jsp">huge news</a> is the release of the new Sun Storage 7000 Series. These new storage appliances create value by combining open source software with commodity hardware and <a href="https://www.sun.com/storage/disk_systems/unified_storage/features.jsp">very clever programming</a> and <a href="https://www.sun.com/storage/disk_systems/unified_storage/tips.jsp">hardware design</a> to deliver low cost storage appliances with great performance. And the use of open source means the extra access protocols other storage vendors try to charge for are included free.<br /></p></li></ul><p>There's plenty more to say on this subject.&nbsp; For Sun, open source is not a matter of warm statements of alignment while we carry on with the same old business or keep our core products proprietary. I hope it's becoming clear that the Sun Model is a <a href="https://blogs.sun.com/jonathan/entry/you_have_to_stop_to">directional matter</a>. </p> Phase 3 of the Sun Model Simon Phipps, SunMink Nov 10, 2008 bucket/bu/104/38592ae0 40 https://weblogs.java.net/blog/terrencebarr/archive/2008/11/jcp_java_me_ec.html <img src="https://weblogs.java.net/blog/terrencebarr/JCP_logo_blue.jpg" width="160" height="77"/>The Java Community Process (JCP) is currently holding elections for the Java ME EC (Executive Committee) [...] Two seats are up for replacement and our Java Mobile & Embedded Community member and Community Star Sean Sheedy is running for election.

Another advantage in compared to current LCDUI is portability, LCDUI's custom items have quite a few portability and usability issues across devices which don't exist with MIDP...<br /><br />The greater advnatages however are in MVC, the List in the demo is scrollable and fetches data only when necessary thanks to <a href="https://lwuit.blogspot.com/2008/08/model-mvc-million-contacts-march.html">LWUIT's MVC support</a>. This is far more intuitive and actually easier to write than odd paging mechanisms that are often necessary for such results! This is also just as efficient and arguably even more efficient than the typical paging algorithm.<br /><br />When compared to SVG most of the same advantages still persist with some additional benefits. LWUIT is much faster than todays SVG devices, it is also far more portable, while writing cross device SVG code is not trivial the main problem is in the fact that many current devices still don't support 226 (newer devices from the major manufactures have finally <a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qG7c8W9UfgE/SQYRIS7tSbI/AAAAAAAAAMY/4MnXh5nkG0A/s1600-h/Picture+39.png"><img src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qG7c8W9UfgE/SQYRIS7tSbI/AAAAAAAAAMY/4MnXh5nkG0A/s200/Picture+39.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261912048847899058" border="0" /></a>stepped up to the plate). Basic tasks are often very difficult in SVG, things such as text input are not integrated and need programming. The separation of view and logic is very powerful in SVG but not very intuitive to program, it is also harder to draw elements on the fly in some cases.<br /><br />Changing the look and feel in SVG is possible by replacing some image elements but it is not quite the same thing, features such as transitions etc. all have to be coded specifically for an application.<br /><br />SVG is great when you need to do Flash like graphics applications, LWUIT doesn't ofer much in that department. When you need to build component based applications SVG isn't as capable as LWUIT (in my obviously biased opinion), however if you need to combine them we offer that ability via SVGImage which allows animations and DOM manipulation.
