So huge Marketing names it “Java 2”, split as J2SE, J2EE, and J2ME 2002 Founded J2EE called best platform for web. J2SE 4.x solid for server apps, 1st 64-bit VM. BEA acquires Appeal, the JRockit VM creators. 2005 Vega J2 Version 5, Codename “Tiger”, is huge. BEA WebLogic 8.1 hot. “IBM J9” VM replaces “IBM Classic” VM under WebSphere 6.1 2007 Oracle acquires BEA. JRockit VM kept intact over Oracle VM. 2010 Oracle acquires Sun. Java and Sparc kept intact. JRockit pushed for specialty workloads only. 2011 Zing LX Oracle ships JSE 7. OpenJDK becomes base codeline for JSE7.0. IBM ships WAS 8.0 on J9 JDK6. Zing 5 released. 2013 Zing PE IBM ships WAS 8.5 and it can be configured to use J9 JDK7. OpenJDK 7 is released. IcedTea 6 is released. JRockit revived. 2013 ©2013 Azul Systems, Inc.
