What Java really needs right now is bug fixing and a new deployement system.
Users don't want jars, developers don't want platform specific binaries, Sun has to do something and not add to java some magic tricks that will not only not appeal Ruby devs but rather repeal current Java devs.
Don't get me wrong, I'm fond of generics and other new stuff that got into Java 5, but how am I supposed to tell a regular user to instal the latest java vm before double-clicking my jar ? Why do I have to tell them to do a command line java -jar -Xmx because their app behaves strangely though no error shows up ? How are they even supposed to do that when they can barely tell what command line is ?
I hope I'll get an awnser from Sun someday... |
