Sentilla Puts Java on Chips
Sentilla Corp. introduced a software suite for
java applications to run on low-power microprocessors
embedded on devices. Users can wirelessly manage those applications using
the platform. Joe Polastre, chief technology
officer and co-founder of Sentilla, said “It
overcomes challenges on running Java in tiny
devices with small memory by squeezing a full
Java environment into microprocessors. The
platform uses memory management and storage on a device to swap Java code in and
out of memory as needed. That allows the platform to use large applications without
draining resources”. Currently it works with
Texas Instruments Inc.’s MSP430 microprocessor, a 16-bit RISC processor
but in future more microprocessors will support it.
Apache Geronimo Passes J2EE Test Kit
The Apache Software Foundation’s Geronimo
1.0-M5, open source J2EE application server,has passed Sun
Microsystem’s the J2EE 1.4.1 test compatibility kit, or
TCK. It was announced during a “birds of a feather”
presentation at the recent JavaOne show in San
Francisco. Geronimo provides support for Web, EJB, JMS
and EIS applications, combined with enterprise
grade configuration and management. “People
shouldn’t think of Geronimo as just another
J2EE app server, but as the start of a system
framework that can be used to build a variety
of tailored infrastructure services,” Gluecode’s
former CTO, Jeremy Boynes
BluePhoenix Wins Major Contract to
Modernize PowerBuilder Applications to
Java for Global Telecommunications
Customer
BluePhoenix Solutions announced that it has
won a major contract to convert PowerBuilder
applications to Java for a global telecommunications company. In this,
BluePhoenix’s LanguageMigrator conversion
solution will be implemented, which enables
organizations to automatically migrate legacy
applications to prevailing languages and technologies. PowerBuilder is a 4GL rapid
application development environment developed
in early 90s. It has been used by thousands of
companies but still many companies want to
migrate their PowerBuilder applications to Java. |

This is because of growing maintenance cost,
functionality limitations, and fewer PowerBuilder
programmers. ”Our customer’s changing business
requirements dictates a move to a modern platform and
our automatic migration solution supports their strategic
direction to consolidate on Java,” said Arik Kilman, CEO
of BluePhoenix. “Our LanguageMigrator solution along
with our proven migration methodology enables us to
guarantee results while minimizing risk and
disruption to current operations.”
Sun starts bidding adieu to mobile-specific
Java
Java Standard Edition (SE) for desktop
computers will gradually replace Java Micro
Edition (ME) as technology improvements let
more computing power be packed into smaller
devices, said James Gosling, the Sun vice president and known as the title “father of Java”.
”We’re trying to converge everything to the
Java SE specification. Cell phones and TV settop
boxes are growing up,” Gosling said at a
Java media event here Wednesday. “That convergence is going to take years.”
