June 15, 2008 — Despite its claimed improvement in ease of use, Java EE 5 received a mixed response from the market. Sun Microsystems is trying to make the platform more modular in Java EE 6, which is expected to be released in the fourth quarter. Roberto Chinnici, who leads the Sun Java EE team, explained some of the company’s guiding principles as they apply to Java EE 6, during a keynote address at JavaOne 2008:

•   Rightsizing “means making the platform the right size for you,” Chinnici said.

•   Extensibility supports more open-source, third-party libraries, frameworks and tools that work with Java.

•   Pruning designates certain APIs and other specifications as outdated or superseded by other ones; developers of new applications should ignore the pruned specs.

•   Profiles refer to collections of APIs selected for a particular application server role, such as a Web server. Other profiles for telecom, messaging, transactions or other applications could be created through the Java Specification Request process.
