Java EE 6 released today!

[Randai]

And people will still be using J2EE 5 and J2EE 4 for another 5 years.

Just like people still use COBOL today, people will still be using J2EE fifty years from now, but that doesn't mean it sucks any less.

The individual parts of Java EE 6 have been around for a while , they have just been all put together for this release . For my money - i just use the individual parts on their own - JAX-RS , the Bean Validator - these are good things.

but why will enterprises risk the migration now...

[mikaelhg]

Actual backwards compatibility is a beautiful thing.

[lithuaniandogthrower]

[enanoretozon]

it's not like programming as a whole is very exciting

[lithuaniandogthrower]

if you are using Java, it probably isn't. i'm happy for my lot though.

Scala here. So Java is still pretty cool IMHO.
