Sun brushed aside the 'Put Java On A Diet' by saying that developers
want more, not fewer features. And Register readers overwhelmingly
agree with Big Mauve. "It's not a hairball," Pat Sueltz told
us. "It's becoming quite handsome."
Rickie Green, Sun's VP of Java Development added:
"It's a very delicate dance you have to do. Developers are asking for
more and more features; individuals are saying to us we have not
enough in Swing and EJBs and so on. You don't want to create too much
bulk and damage the footprint, but the trend in the market has been to
more and more services," he said.
