JavaOne was not just Sun's show

Sun and the health department weren’t the only ones making news at last month’s JavaOne conference in San Francisco. Here’s a roundup of what SD Times found on the floor and in the neighborhood:
Atlassian released JIRA Studio, a hosted development environment that provides collaboration and issue tracking tools as well as a code repository and code review features. Existing JIRA and Subversion databases can be imported into JIRA Studio. The service is priced at US$50 per user per month, with volume discounts available.
Cacheonix Systems announced its namesake cache clustering and data grid platform, which is claimed by company officials to offer latency for put and get operations in the millisecond range. The design of Cacheonix keeps data closer to applications by storing it in memory across a set of commodity cache servers, according to the executives. The company is offering a unique find-a-bug-and-get-a-license scheme to developers who kick the tires on the early access builds.
Canoo demonstrated UltraLightClient ’08, a rich Internet application library that the company claims “bridges the gap” between classic Java, in the form of Swing UI components, and Web architectures, as an alternative to AJAX. The company expects to release the client library around mid-year.
Conversay announced a final release candidate of JSR 113, the Java Speech API 2, or JSAPI, that is targeted for Java ME devices. It also runs on Java SE. The company also showed off 3DK, the JSAPI2 Development/Demonstration Device Kit, an integrated package of hardware and software meant to give developers a leg up on building speech-enabled mobile applications.
InetSoft Technology released Style Intelligence 9.5, an update to the business intelligence tool that allows scheduled pre-aggregation of data mashups, while adding memory-resident bitmap indexing for analyzing very large datasets, and a new interface for the design of dashboards to the feature set. The company claims the new release is more responsive for designers, and it offers improved deployment, localization and reporting tools.
Liferay announced the release of version 5.0 of its namesake portal software. Liferay Portal now offers a built-in collaboration suite that ties into portal-based Web applications, and it allows the use of both PHP and Ruby. The suite includes a dynamic tagging system, an AJAX-based e-mail client and direct publishing to the Facebook and MySpace networks. Liferay also announced that Sun Microsystems had joined its open-source community, with the intent of using core elements of Liferay Portal in Sun’s next-generation Web development and collaboration platform.
