JavaOne returns with an Oracle twist

With Oracle's appetite for acquisitions, Oracle OpenWorld has grown larger with every passing year. This year, on Sept. 19–24, the San Francisco conference will be even larger as Java developers join the Oracle fold. That’s right: Oracle OpenWorld now encompasses what used to be Sun’s annual JavaOne conference.

According to Teri Whitaker, an Oracle spokesperson, “Java technology continues to evolve, and at this year's conference, attendees will be presented with compelling and immersive content that will help them learn how to leverage tools and resources to build compelling Java-enabled offerings and individualized services.”

There are essentially three distinct conferences under one roof: the main Oracle OpenWorld event, JavaOne, and Oracle Develop, said Whitaker. “Even though the two developer-oriented conferences are being run as separate events, we’re creating bridges to bring developers together," she said.

Whitaker said that the JavaOne part is organized into tracks on Core Java Platforms; Desktop Java; Enterprise Service Architectures and the Cloud; Java EE Web Profile and Platform technologies; Java ME and Mobile; Java for Devices, Cards and TV; JavaFX and the rich user experience; and something new called the "the Java Frontier.”

According to Oracle, some of the traditionally less-serious aspects of JavaOne will also be making an appearance at the Develop conference, which covers Oracle’s other development tools. Whitaker said that “Developers attending either show can choose from hundreds of JavaOne and Oracle Develop sessions, build LEGO cities, snag some swag, and meet up with top Oracle and Java developers.”

No word, though, if Duke—the black-and-white Java triangle mascot with a huge red nose—will be making an appearance.
