Sun goes multilingual with Java SE 6
Over two years in the making, Sun Microsystems is due to release the latest version of its Java Platform Standard Edition (Java SE) software Monday, placing particular emphasis on the application development platform’s support for other scripting languages. Java SE 6 is the first version that lets developers mix Java technology with other languages. This means that developers can now mix Java with other languages such as PHP, Python, Ruby and JavaScript!
“Java SE 6 is an extremely significant release for us,” said Jean Elliott, Sun’s senior director of Java platform product marketing. She drew particular attention to community participation in the platform’s development. For the first time, hundreds of non-Sun developers had some input into the Java SE development process, beginning in September 2004 as Sun released Java SE 5.
