Oracle announces hybrid cloud

Another JVM was on hand to demonstrate its renewed focus on productivity. Red Hat's JBoss used JavaOne to announce a what it called a renewed commitment to the community through a rebranding of the free version of its app server.

Steve Yi, Red Hat’s director of planning and strategy for JBoss middleware, said, “We're entering a bold new phase in the history of our app server project. We wanted to raise awareness by having people help us choose a new name. We have customers and developers that are unaware we have a community project and a commercial product. We feel renaming the app server will help customers understand.”

Red Hat is taking suggestions for the new name of the free community version of its application server until the end of October.

Application performance management was a hot topic at the show, with numerous APM vendors showing their tools. Compuware and New Relic both demonstrated their tools for monitoring SLA compliance as well as general application performance, while Nastel showed up to announce the availability of a new free memory-leak discovery test tool.

For developers, build, deploy, staging and testing solutions weren't nearly as popular at the show as continuous integration products that allow all of these systems to be tied together. CloudBees, for example, added new support for deployment to Google App Engine at the show, while Gradleware showed off its growing chain of continuous integration and deployment tools.

But perhaps the most interesting news from vendors at the show came from two companies that have pivoted to address new markets with their existing tools.

First, Sonatype discussed its new security offerings. As the maintainer of Maven Central, where Java tools, libraries and frameworks can be downloaded, Sonatype is in a unique position to be aware of security vulnerabilities as they relate to real-world usage. It hopes to advise developers who are using, say, a vulnerable version of a library that they need to switch to a safer, newer version.
